Description of the problem	Front brake lever froze with no warning while riding it home on the highway and turning on to an exit.. Bike had been serviced at my local harley dealer since i purchased the bike new in 2009. The next day, i called the dealer without identifying myself, and described the problem - the first response was that the abs module might be bad. I asked if there was a recall or something, the only response was to make an appointment for. My bike was out of warranty by 6 months, so i took it to a mechanic friend of mine. After tearing the brake system apart, he determined that the abs module was indeed bad. The abs warning light never came on other than the startup cycle. Fortunately for me, my rear brakes still worked fine, or i wouldn't be able to make this complaint.
