Description of the problem	I took my bike out for a nice ride and nothing in the way of a problem. The next day went to ride the bike and my front brake lever is as hard as a rock i went to stop and had no front brake. Went through the intersection . I checked for trouble codes in the memory and it showed none. Tried to bleed the front brakes cracked the bleeder and lever moved fine and fluid came out as normal . Tried to use brake and lever was hard again. Call the local dealer and was informed the abs module was bad and it would cost a 1000. 00 . I was under the impression that if the system failed it would just revert back to brakes with out abs. Am i wrong about the way they should work informed by service writer that they could lock up or have no brakes at all . I think they should take a little more of effort to find out what the problem rather than just come up with the figure of 1000 and say the module is bad . Makes me think that i am not the first person that this has happened to. Said harley would cover but i informed him it ran out 6 months ago. By the way i bought the bike new.
