Description of the problem	Bike parked in garage for about 3 weeks because of cold weather. Fired it up to let it warm up for a few min's. Climbed on to back it out and the front brake lever would not budge or stop the bike when i needed to stop. Fortunately before i lost control, i was able to lean to the right while using rear brake and simultaneously hit the kill switch and pop it in 1st gear to stop it. Checked calipers. They were fine. Started breaking lines and found that on the inlet to abs unit there was fluid and brake movement. Retightened and then broke the abs output line and no fluid escaped and no movement of front lever. And i mean zero movement. It will not budge. Started researching and found this to be a common issue for my bike and earlier versions. Rear brake operation is fine and not affected.
