My 2010 ultra did that after I got it and I sprayed the sensors front and rear with wd40 to clean them off and that fixed it and that was 4 years ago. Unless you've had a recent tire change and the didn't get the sensors back in correctly

Btw wd40 was designed to displace water so if there is any moisture trapped in either sensor it will displace it

There is a connector on the abs wires up in the steering head area that needs to be checked and will also show you the wire that run back under the gas tank. Hope this helps.

Looks like this might be the problem cause when I looked down there I saw that there was a wire kinda kinked up, and today this morning the ABS was off then going to work in the afternoon it was on and coming home tonight it was off, so I'm thinking I might have to check those wires and see if it got cut. Thanks for the help.

I had the wire break there too. There is a hanger that holds the wire bundle just under the front of the gas tank. Mine was broken right at that hanger.
