| Description of the problem | I always test my breaks and break lights before i drive,my bike go to hd dealer 2 x a year to refresh al oil and dot4,they put new abs sensor on my bike the abs was not working,but the normal breaks was working perfect. After they put the new abs sensor i drive 300 kilometer the abs light is of that means its working,i don't feel any difference. Drive my v-rod lucky only slow on that moment ,i have no warning lights and my breaks stop working 0 breaks,im so lucky that im alive ... I live 2 days from dealer a way,so i have to find problem,there was 0 oil on the caliper i can blow air in break hose and feel it coming out on the other site of the bike caliper hose that i take of aswel,but no air go up, test my master cilinder lots of pressure brand new original hd,i call hd dealer al over the world to find out the problem,they never here about this. Now i go on the internet i find out the hcu is the problem hd is the only one in the world that if this break there is no more dot4 going to caliper it means you have 0 break with out any warning ,i tel you i can't believe that hd don't inform customers and dealers act like they don't know,in the same time i can kill my self and many hd drivers.
