2008: “When riding the motorcycle I braked hard to test out the ABS system. The ABS system triggered as it should modulating the braking. When I let off the brakes, the rear brake did not release and the vehicle continued to slow coming to a stop in the middle of the road. The rear brake would not release and I could not go. Eventually I turned off the vehicle and turned it back on which solved the issue leading me to believe it is a faulty ABS system. I was in a location in order to specifically test out the motorcycle which is new to me. …”
