Fixed it! The ABS return pump uses the same ground as the headlights. After a session, I discovered that one of the headlight wiring looms had gotten chewed up by the front wheel. So I disconnected both harnesses at the X/1 and X/2 connectors since it appeared they only fed the headlights and air temp sensor. I didn't see the ABS light come on because of my AIM dash. I initially thought the problem was my tires giving out since it was my first time on racing slicks and they had 20+ heat cycles on them. So I didn't make the cause/effect connection.

Well, darn it, you beat me to it. Since I read that your wiring harness for the front lights got torn up, I was going to suggest checking the grounding points around there. Makes sense the speed sensors would be grounded somewhere around there. Good for you! Hope you have fun this weekend.
