Description of the problem	Abs system fails to "no brakes" . I have recently purchased my 2009 hd from a reputable dealer in houston. So i am not the original owner. Within less than 6 months of ownership and perhaps only 20 miles the abs system has failed. I went to drive the motorcycle on a recent sunny day, and rolled out of my garage unable to stop. Both rear and front brakes are solid and immovable. Had this occurred further down the road it could have been catastrophic. Researching recalls, i see that this is a known issue but only requiring harley to flush the brake system. Repair is still on the owner. This is unacceptable. Harley engineering should have reached out to the auto industry who has used dot 4 brake fluid without such an issue for decades. Hygroscopic brake fluid is not the issue, its the material choice and potentially cathodic issues. For harley to blame owners for not flushing the fluid every two years is silly. I have only owned the bike 6 months. For them to resell without having repaired or replaced this is negligent as far as i am concerned. No doubt other used bike owners will experience this issue also and more accidents are in the making. A total recall should be done and the abs valves replaced at hd's expense. Many on forums are now bypassing the abs systems to avoid the exorbitant repair bill and need to go to harley. This is putting dangerous bikes on the road.
