I took my 08 UC to a parking lot to do a few hard braking stops and engage the ABS for the first time....I have used ABS on other brands, this is a first for me on a HD......
When I applied full braking on the rear one loud "clunk" could be heard each time but all else seemed fine...Stopped fine, no lockup, etc......ABS lite never came on...Front did not do it but I wasn't as hard on the front as the rear....
Is this normal?? I have heard of ABS "cycling" on other brands but never this clunking sound......
I do get some noise, not sure if its a clunk or not, but the sound comes when i brake really hard just before the wheel locks ... its like it comes on and off until the bike stops completely... specially if there is oil or the road is wet.
