| Description of the problem | Front brake is stuck in the open position. The abs module is bad according to the harley shop. This happened while i was riding on a highway all of a sudden i'm unable to pull the front brake lever. I just read an article that you guys are looking into this and issue and it is exactly the same as others have experienced. I was considering leaving a report before since this is so unsafe and i'm glad you are looking into it. There's no reason i should ever be without brakes. I have not fixed it yet mostly because harley wants 790$ to fix it. If you wanna see it just let me know. I can give you any further information you require. |
