Brakes: “Hello, I own a 2009 cbr 1000rr ABS. I've put over 40,000 miles on the bike since I bought it new in april 2011. The bike performed well until december 2013. I experienced my first crash on that bike. I was coming to a traffic light, it turned yellow, I applied the front brakes to stop at the light. As soon as I pulled the lever in the front tire locked and flipped the bike forward. I stood up in shock, righted the motorcycle and looked down to see the ABS light steadily flashing indicating an ABS failure. …”

While driving at approximately 100 MPH on a race track, the throttle did not operate and the vehicle would not decelerate which resulted in a crash. The contact was injured and the vehicle was destroyed. The vehicle was inspected by an independent mechanic who informed the contact that the return cable on the throttle was severed internally which made it impossible for the throttle to properly operate.
