Default Weird sound
Hi to all
I have a heritage softail classic 2012 abs
Since a week ago when I press the front brake level a weird sound appers from below the gas tank...I know its not easy to describe a sound
its like something electric .... as ..grrrrrrrrrrr its not a metal noise or something loose..
took the bike to an indy shop and they told me the issue its the abs control module...theres no any fault code and the brakes works but that sound means something I guess
Any of you guys had that issue with the abs module?
Sorry for my english I do my best
thanks in advantage.

ABS has to be bled differently then non ABS do you have the HD Shop Manuel for your bike? Per my manual for 2016 Softails The dealers hook up a Digital Technician for bleeding. I had my dealer change out my system, about 100 bucks here, Good luck, Ride safe.
