I'm no expert on the GTR (yet  :cool:) but that sounds like a possible issue with wheel speed sensor/s.

Chapter 17.9 in the FSM details how to retrieve fault codes.

Think I would check the ABS sensors at the front and the back.  They are just by the perforated ABS ring on the discs.  There has been a similar case on the ZZR1400 forum where the ABS ring was changed.  Seems there are two different specs for these and the wrong one was fitted giving false readings to the ABS controller

You may also want to pull the sensor and give it a look see for any debris.  Check the tone wheel as well.  I think the manual specifies a distance the sensor must be from the tone wheel.  If it's happening as you say, it could be the sensor itself as it warms it fails.
