| Description of the problem | The rear brake on my 2010 harley davidson fltrx with abs failed. The rear brake pedal froze in the up position, not allowing me to engage the brake. No matter how hard i pushed it would not go down. I was travelling 65 mph on the highway at the time. I rode home using only the front brake for stopping, fortunately it did not fail also. I took it in to the local harley dealer and the tech told me that a valve in the hcu had gotten stuck and it would be $700 to repair. I did not have the money to fix it so i took the bike home and it has been parked in the garage ever since, un-repaired. The brake pedal is still locked in the up position if anyone wants to look at it. |
