I did the same thing. I have a '91 K100RS-16v. The ABS computer was on the
blink for a couple of years before I finally did something and got a second
hand unit from Ebay.
There are 2 flavors of ABS-1 computer (rectangular black plastic box). The
early ones have ABO1.5 on the case in (IIRC) white writing. This is what my
replacement one had. The later ones (my original) had ABO2.5 in yellow
writing. As far as I can find out, the difference was the later ones self
reset after a low-voltage fault, rather than using the wire in the plug
trick.
..,..and the answer to your question? Mine works ok.
