Thomas Spagnoli: workshop approach for CB650R ABS light appears after tire change
My workshop rule for CB650R ABS light appears after tire change is simple: prove the basic condition first, then decide whether the clever part is actually needed.
If the result changes hot versus cold, or under load versus idle, write that down. Those conditions are not noise; they are clues.
For students, this is exactly why I built the free Motorcycle Mechanics Course on this platform. It teaches the method behind fuel, spark, compression, charging, diagnostics and safe workshop habits, so problems like CB650R ABS light appears after tire change become a sequence instead of a guess.
Add the model year, mileage, recent work and what changed before the problem started. With that, the next test becomes much easier to choose.
