NHTSA Complaint #11046397 — 2016 HARLEY-DAVIDSON FLHTK

WHILE RIDING ON HWY THE FRONT END STARTING SHAKING OUT OF CONTROL , MY FIRST THOUGHT I RAN OVER SOME THING , APPLIED BRAKE BUT THE BRAKE LEVER WENT FLAT NO BRAKING ACTION AT ALL , DUE TO HAVING MANY YEARS RIDING EXPERIENCE I JUST HIT THE KILL SWITCH AND USED THE ENGINE AS A BRAKE LUCKILY IT WORKED AFTER GETTING IT STOPPED I INSPECTED AND FOUND MY FRONT BEARINGS HAD FALLEN APART AND OUT OF THE FRONT WHEEL . I ONLY HAVE 16K MILES ON THE BIKE , WELL THE ABS SYSTEM WORKS OFF THE WHEEL BEARINGS , I AM SUSPECTING THAT'S WHY I LOST MY BRAKES'' THE BEARINGS FAILED SO I LOST MY BRAKING ABILITY TOO.. THIS IS A HAZARDOUS CONDITION . I GOT LUCKY AND DID NOT CRASH ,SOMEONE WILL NOT BE SO LUCKY. THEY NEED TO FIND AN ALTERNATE SOURCE TO REGULATE THE ABS SYSTEM MAYBE PICK UP AND MAGNET SENSOR.
