Description of the problem	On 10-19-2017 i was riding with a group of friends on our way to a fellow bikers funeral. We were doing about 45 mph on the highway, as we approached our turn i attempted to start braking with my back brake. When i tryed to push the back brake pedal down nothing happened!!!!!!!!!!! The pedal was frozen in place!!!!!!!!! I brought the bike to a friends and he and i started to look into the problem. When we got to the abs brake manifold, we found that when we cracked the inlet line the back brake pedal would go down and push fluid out. We tightened the inlet line back and broke loose the outlet line and the back brake pedal would not move again. On 11-1-2017 i spoke to the dealership i bought the bike from ( mike bruno's houma louisiana) and told them what happened. Their resonse was ... Do you have the extended warranty? I told them no, so they told me the part will cost $417. 00. Thank god i did not have a passenger with me or did not hit the bike in front of me. There was zero warning before this failure no lights no tighting of brake pedal nothing!!!!!!!!!! I guess my life and others is only worth $417. 00 and that is only if i buy the new part and it don't fail also.
