Hey guys, I ran the bike today for about hour and a half and the ABS light on the guage started flashing constantly and never stopped until I pulled over and turned the bike off. It went off so I started heading home it started flashing again. The brake lever was pretty firm the time using the brake lever. The second time it was firm on the initial squeeze then a hitch and the loose all in one pull. When that happened the light started again. So I pulled over, turned the bike off, waited a minuted and started to head home again. It did the same thing when I went to use them again but the brakes still worked. Made it home and parked her in the garage. I'm calling Honda in the morning. The bike has 3600 miles on it....

Had a mechanic give my ABS system the once over yesterday before I take it back to my Honda dealer.
ABS air gaps checked and within spec.
ABS rotors checked for damage. No issue there.
ABS sensor wiring and resistance checked as wheel was being turned. All normal.
Apparently incorrect tire pressure, or tire wear, can be a common cause. My tires are new on in Aug 2017.
My after market levers were also check to ensure they are fitted correctly.
The mechanic gave the blade a test ride and experienced the sensation of something within the braking system shifting, with the brake lever coming in 1/4". His thoughts are a piston, or piston seal (within the ABS) isn't operating correcting causing a loss of pressure within the system and the ABS warning light.
Next stage is to head to my Honda dealership.

Just seen the price for an ABS modulator and felt sick to my stomach. With no guarantee this will solve the problem I can see why it becomes a real option to just remove the ABS system.
