Brakes
Filed Mar 12, 2023

Original Abs module has failed, brakes are inoperable. I’m a retired technician and performed the fluid exchange with new fluid myself. The system still failed and left me without brakes. I donor trust the bike anymore but feel that the public is wanting to purchase the bike at an extreme discount.
