2009 Harley-davidson FLHTCU Service Brakes Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1235303
Internal NHTSA #	10787797
Manufacurer	Harley-Davidson Motor Company
Brand	HARLEY-DAVIDSON
Model	FLHTCU
Model Year	2009
File date	01/11/15
Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Front brake hand lever is very stiff and works intermittently. My brakes are abs. I was in motion and had to pull on the brake lever very hard and the front brake suddenly reacts causing a very hard braking on the front end. This happened several times. There is no gradual braking as you pull the lever, sometimes you can't even pull the lever causing you to rely solely on the rear brake.. I have done research on motorcycle forums and have found this is a common problem with abs equipped harley-davidsons. It is very dangerous on a motorcycle to have this happen to a front brake. I will be taking my motorcycle (with 10,000 miles and garage kept) to my local harley-davidson dealer for analysis and repair.
