Default ABS Sensor?

Hey everyone.

I have a 02 S2K and have had a weird problem since new. When I slowly drive into a parking spot, a lot of times my ABS will activate. I am not going even remotely quick enough to get them to engage.

Is it a sensor problem? Can you adjust them?

I know I am not sliding and my tires are not worn and it happens in the dry and wet.

Any help would be appreciated

Clean the wheel sensors. It's rare, but sometimes dirt, grit, whatever can get up there. Yes, I know they are magnetic and dirt's not, but it happened to me on a truck after a little off roading excursion.

Check for damage on the trigger wheel/pulser which is located on the outer cv joint just under the speed sensor.

I have seen this a few times on non-s2ks. The ring that the wheels speed sensor reads ends up getting a knick or crack in part of it, which causes the ABS to engage. It seems to only happen at low speeds, though.
