Description of the problem	My front brake lever locked up! No front brakes!! Absolutely no movement at all when applying front brake, with or without bike being started! No abs light on. The way i understand it (after reviews of many of the same problems with both the front and rear brake doing same as mine, on many different forums), it's due to a defective abs valve module, that should be recalled. Again, the way i understand it, the abs valve module is supposed to go into manual mode and i would still have at least some front brakes! I have nothing, none! No warning lights come on, and abs light operated normally! Being a motorcycle manufacturer, i've got to believe someone there realizes that the front brake is 70% of a bike's stopping power.. Are they waiting for a death toll similar to firestone/explorer rollovers, to be forced to do something to prevent the certain accidents that will certainly be caused do to this?!? This occurred yesterday, when i was about to take the bike out of the garage. Thank god, from driving tractor trailers for 25 yrs, i'm anal about my "pre-trip" inspection, and i discovered it then, rather than on the road when it was needed!!
