Default 2010 ABS front brake issue
I have a 2010 EGC and was out on a short ride on Sunday, about an hour. Towards the end of the ride I noticed that the front brake lever would pull all the way to the grip when stopping. If I pumped the lever a few times it would be OK until the next stop and then it would do it again. The fluid level in the reservoir is fine. The bike has about 500 miles on it and is equipped with ABS. Any ideas? I have an appointment on 6/5 for them to replace the front fender and install Security, I guess I'll have them look at it then.

The brakes function normally when the ABS isn't active. Probably air or bad master cyl. Keep us posted on the results. Mike

Yup, sounds like an air issue if you have to pump them.
