Quick Question
Lately, after i drive for a little bit (say about 15 minutes) my ABS light comes on and kicks off the traction control. About 3 to 5 minutes later it kicks off again and doesn't go off again until like the next day I drive it. WEIRD What could this be?
Thanks

This is more common than you'd think. My bet is that one of your exciter wheels or sensors is caked with metallic brake pad dust and road grime and not getting a clean signal as temperatures climb. It's getting enough to work a little but not all the time... that says interrupted signal to me.
Clean the exciter wheels by your brake rotors, also clean the little black probe hovering over them. Simple qtip and detergent are sufficient. The sensor is plastic so no solvent based cleaners like 1-1-1-trichlor or you could melt the plastic bits.
If that's not the case, check the connections where the rear sensors connect under the back seat. Maybe a connection corroded.
Also make sure you have the same size tires on both sides...
If all that fails, you can try pulling codes but you'll probably get a 1000 which means it's not been able to accurately sample enough data to get a clear picture of the system status. After that, go to the dealer and say "Fixie please. here's 1200 bucks"
