Yours will be the first 14+MY ABS failure I’ve read about. Maybe they have failed, all the riders died going down mountains at 80 MPH pulling a trailer and that’s why I never read about it? Could be, I guess. 😳

ABS expensive POS when it’s quits working, or when you gotta spend $150 to bleed it should you get any air in the system ( takes OEM computer program to cycle the ABS unit) . Screw that. I will ride my TC w/regular /conventional brakes untill I die. You gotta have ABS, 8” info screen, cruise control, traction control, predicting bathroom schedule ? Not me.

At this stage of the game I wouldn’t own. Bike without ABS. It’s a proven system that works.
yes every manufacturer will have issues with something. There is no getting around it.
personally I would take the risk of an ABS failure rather than rely on old technology (non abs). I believe the risk of a wheel lock up to be much higher than an ABS failure

At issue is design of system.
Failure should result in lack of ABS NOT lack of brakes

That's a big 10-4. So glad my '13 doesn't have it. I don't care for it on any vehicle. But then I know how to pump my brakes and prefer to do so and not rely on some computer to do so for me.
