2013 Harley-Davidson Flhx Brakes Problems

“Front brake becomes hard and cannot squeeze to stop. Fluid has been changed in accordance with maintenance schedule every two years. This first occurred while operating on the highway during rush hour traffic. This model is equipped with ABS. I believe there is a sticky valve in the ABS control module. A standard braking system without ABS would not have this problem.”

“The contact owns a 2013 Harley-Davidson FLHX street glide. While merging to the right lane at 45 MPH, the rear brakes failed to respond. The contact mentioned that the rear brake handle became difficult to depress and caused the motorcycle to skid. The contact fell off the motorcycle, resulting in a fractured left arm and laceration to the right arm that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The motorcycle was towed to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 10,911.”
