Easy way to fix rear brake sensor on KTM 390 Adventure

[@TomforIndia]

I simply let the old switch where it is - in the ABS unit, unplugged it and installed a common aftermarket one where it supposed to be - upon the rear break pump. Problem solved much more easily, and next time the switch fails it is super easy to get it replaced. There is no need to remove the faulty switch from the ABS unit just to replace it with the sealing screw from the break pump.

Thank you so much for this tip, I was about to turn my bike in to my local dealer when I stumbled upon your video. So thx, and a big minus to KTM

Thanks for doing the clip. It is a much better place to fit it. My thought is do you have to remove the old one at all. If it is unplugged and the wires cut off theoretically it can just stay there and put the new one in as you suggest. Cheers

I see no reason you couldn't just leave it. When I was doing it I wasn't sure it was bad and wanted to test it. And I didn't think of relocating it when I started out. And then there's the extra weight of leaving the old one on ;)

Hello, great video. The replacement sensor is the same installed on the abs module? (M10 x 1.0 pitch)

[@IQToms]

Yes. All the 'banjo' bolts on the bike are the same.

Thanks! You could have just replaced the bottom banjo bolt with the brake sensor and hooked up the wire (without having to remove the broken sensor from the ABS pump in the first place)

When I started out I didn't know anything on how to fix this. I wasn't even sure the sensor was my issue. Plus once you're at the plug it's not a big deal to take out the existing sensor. That way you can test it and make sure it's bad. If it's still good you could just relocate it and save yourself work in the future.
