ABS Pulsing Question
Hey everyone, I just hopped on my used 2008 HD Ultra Classic Electra Glide yesterday and wondered if everytime you press on the brakes you are supposed to feel the brakes pulsating.. I have ABS brakes on the bike and this is the first bike I have had with ABS. Is it normal to feel the brakes pulsing every time you grab the brakes?
Thanks.
Thanks.

ABS issue
Okay I contacted a dealer and he said it was normal to feel some pulsing when appling the hand or foot brake and that I would feel it even more when coming to an abrupt stop. This is so confusing.. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I had a 2007 without ABS and of course no pulsating.

Why not have the dealer flash it with the 2008 ABS upgrade flash. I had mine done and was happy with the results. Tell your dealer to have a look at service bulletin M1239. They may give you some jive about it only being for Michelin tires, but if you complaint about it pulsing and jumping while coming to a stop, they should do it for you. I had mine done and I don't run Michelins.
