I took the bike back to the dealer, they say no problems found. Tracking left is normal. Brake issues are no issues - get used to it.
HD Customer Service says the same. This morning I had to make an emergency stop on the freeway and even though the bike stopped, the brake lever almost touched the handlebars. ABS did not engage and it was a nice little scare moment. To make it more interesting i continued my ride through a long sweeper and had to slow down for a landscape truck; at that point the brake engaged abruptly at 1/4 pull, way to much way to soon. Engine braking with electronic throttle does virtually not exist. Dealer says - get used to it. The bike is going up for sale. Anyone want it?
