I searched and only could find cars (or older bikes) with the same issue and I'm not 100% sure it translates to my bike 1:1, so I wanted to ask you guys.
Anyway, I have a completely stock 2014 ZX6R and I was going down the highway and after a particularly annoying bump I noticed my abs light came on. I hit this thing all the time often so didn't pay it much mind at the time. However, a few minutes later I happened to notice the light. Came to a stop light, quickly turned the bike off and on again to see if that reset it. It did not, light was still on.
Wondering if it was just a glitch, I brake tested and sure enough, my ABS wouldn't activate(not a real surprise). I reached my destination and turned the bike off and let it sit for about an hour. Came back out, turned the bike back on and it went through it's normal starting diagnostic (where the rpm needle goes up and down) and came back fine. Started the bike up and ABS light is now off and as I come to my first stop, I feel the ABS activate on what I feel was NOT a needed ABS-assisted brake, but i figured it was in the process of resetting.
I start going and make it a few hundred feet and notice my speedometer keeps jumping between 15, 17, 18, and 19MPH. Then the ABS light comes back on.
I go a few more miles and suddenly speedometer goes to 0. A few moments after that, nearly every light on the dash lights up. Temp still reads normal, clock still reads normal, and gear indicator still correct.
Got it home, checked the fuses and they all looked good.
tl;dr
completely stock 2014 ZX6R. ABS light came on after bump, went off after extended stop. Speedometer was then jumping between low numbers, ABS light came back on, and then speedometer stuck at zero. Then all lights on dash came on. All fuses good.
Now, it sounds like my speed sensor failed. Am I correct in that thinking or am I way off? Also is there any danger of me riding the bike around until I can a minute to fix it? I'm mostly concerned that whatever the problem is, it is also controlling the flow of fluid to something and running it could seriously damage the engine.
Finally, anyone know how long does it take to replace a speed sensor once I have the part?
