Default Another ABS question

Last week I bought a 2009 CVO Ultra and it's the best bike I've ever owned by far, it's 13 months old, has 3800 km (about 3000 miles) on it and has the extended service plan.

Problem is when I come to a stop I can feel the bike pulsing right up until it comes to a stop. This is just a routine stop at a light, not a panic stop. The weird thing is once it's stopped it continues to pulse, I tried it this morning in my garage and when either the front or rear brake is applied the bike shudders. Normal???

I've read somewhere about an upgrade to the ABS system, could this fix the problem? I'll take it into the dealer in the next few days but I am wondering if anyone has any advice on this.

Does the ABS light come on while this is going on?

My limited does the same thing. It is the front rotors starting to warp. I checked with my dealer and they have to be warped over .008. I have not checked them yet but doubt it's over .008 yet. Mike

There is a Service Bulletin applicable to the ABS on the 2009 models, it is M-1251. You can search for it or pm me and I can tell you where I found it, and print it out to bring with you. There was one for the 08 models and when I went to my dealer they said they hadn't heard of it so bringing in a copy of it helped them to remember more clearly.
