| Description of the problem | The front brake lever froze up leaving me without any front brakes. It was working normally during a ride with my wife as a passenger, then just froze up. Thankfully it was not at a critical moment and i was able to pull over safely and called aaa for a tow. I had just pulled out of a parking lot onto highway. This bike is equipped with abs. I still had rear wheel brakes. I looked on internet and i am not the only one this has happened to. Internet seems to think its the abs. I have an appointment with bruce rossmeyer harley davidson dealer tomorrow. |
