Hi, Just bought/ saved a 2008 ABS GTR1400 in Bahrain.
Rode it for a week, leaky forks, valve cover/oil, abs light on the list goes on. But, it's ace. epic motor. Currently in the agents as I'm sorting it out!

 :185: :185: GTRBH.
Fork seals, new valve cover gasket and possibly a new Cam Position Sensor O-ring will fix the first 2.
The ABS light could be either a poorly positioned ABS Sensor or else a clogged ABS pump.
If you don't replace the brake fluid regularly (every 5 years) then it can congeal and clog the valves in the ABS unit.
Good luck and enjoy!
