FRONT BRAKE FAILURE DUE TO ABS MALFUNCTION. FRONT BRAKE BECAME INOPERATIVE WHILE IN MOTION AND ATTEMPTING TO STOP.
2014-06-26, Electrical System
MARCH 20 2014 THE BRAKE LIGHT STAYED ON CONSTANTLY WHILE DRIVING HOME. I DID NOT REALIZE THIS UNTIL I ARRIVED HOME. I REMOVED THE WIRING TO CHECK THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH CONNECTIONS AND NORMAL OPERATION WAS RESTORED WHEN I RECONNECTED THE SWITCHES. NOW (JUNE 26 2014) THE REAR BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH IS NON FUNCTIONAL. I CHECKED THE CIRCUIT AND SHORTING THE TWO WIRES TOGETHER MAKES THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATE. THE SWITCH IS ALSO LEAKING BRAKE FLUID. I SEE THAT SEVERAL OTHER HD MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM, AND THE DEALER STOCKS A LOT OF THESE SWITCHES. WITH THE REAR BRAKE NOT ACTIVATING THE BRAKE LIGHT AND THE FLUID LEAKING, I AM FEARFUL OF RIDING THIS BIKE. IT CURR
