NHTSA Complaint #10476924 — 2009 HONDA CBR1000RR

WHEN APPROACHING A SHARP TURN MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED. THE BRAKE CALIPER CAME BACK ALMOST TO MY GRIPS AND I WENT PAST MY BRAKING POINT BY SEVERAL FEET. I ENDED UP IN THE SANDY GRAVEL ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I NEVER WRECKED BUT I CAME CLOSE. THE ABS LIGHT WAS FLASHING SO I RESET IT BY TURNING THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN RESTARTING THE BIKE. THE ABS MALFUNCTIONED SEVERAL MORE TIMES THAT DAY AND I ALSO HAD A DEAD BATTERY WHEN I WENT INTO A RESTAURANT TO EAT, CAME OUT AFTER APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR AND MY BATTERY WAS DEAD. THE ABS BRAKES HAVE NOW MALFUNCTIONED MANY MANY TIMES SINCE THAT FIRST DAY. EVERY TIME MY BRAKES MALFUNCTION, I GO PAST MY BRAKING POINT BY SEVERAL FEET. THE BRAKES REVERT TO STANDARD BRAKES AND THERE IS A SLIGHT DELAY WHEN THIS OCCURS CAUSING ME TO MISS MY BRAKING POINT BY SEVERAL FEET. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE A FEW FEET CAN BE THE DIFFERENCE IN HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF YOU OR NOT. *TR
