For overheat problems, fill the reservoir to MAX a couple mornings in a
row to see if it stabilizes. Use Premix, never tap water.

It only takes a bit of grease on the tone rings to accumulate enough
grunge to throw the ABS sensor off it's game. The manual calls for 1 mm
clearance, but they always seem to have twice that much, and still work
perfect.
