The front brake lever is extremely hard to pull. I have had the brakes bled but it still has the hard lever. Usually after the first pull in the morning it is back to normal but yesterday pulling into the garage the lever was hard again and I was unable to pull it. Luckily rear brakes worked. Harley needs to fix their faulty ABS system before someone is killed. According to Harley's website there is no open recall or closed recall on my 2012 Harley for faulty ABS brakes. Fluid has been changed regularly. Going to call the dealership today to see what they will do to fix this dangerous bike.
