Good evening everyone,
Im hopping ,you guys can help with an issue I'm having with my 2011VRod muscle abs brakes...
Lately my back brake,feels like I'm pressing against a brick wall, but this only happens when i start riding and go over 20 k... as soon as i touch the back brake , its like in pressing against a wall ,activating the abs , but it's not stopping , until i press the front brake and slow down.... once I'm under 20 k , the back brake works normal??? This started to annoy me, and right away i thought my HCU was gone, but then i thought if that was the case, the back brake would not disengage, even if i was stopped... i decided to take the 30 amp fuse out, and the brakes works normal ( without ABS ) and been riding like this for 6 month's now with no issues, but in the back of my mind, I'm always thinking if I'm making things worst for not fixing the problem...
The only change I've done recently, before this problem started was change the bearings on the back tire ( had a bad bearing) ... when i changed the bearings i noticed it had non abs bearings, so i got abs bearings and changed them.... other than that , no other changes.
When i check the codes i got c1095 and c1216....i tried to reset but they are still there.... i know the codes mean this below
C1095, front brake switch open: This means the path to ground for the front brake switch was broken.
C1216, rear brake switch open: This means the path to ground for the rear brake switch was broken.
Im running LeD on my motorcycle.... brake light work, when i press the brakes, brake switch ...everything works as it should , so I'm assuming its got nothing to do with my tail light or brake switch...i also checked the diode and was ok, but since i had one extra i changed anyways, but the problem is there...i think only thing left to check is the ECU....
Questions : can i check the ECU without a breakout box? If so , how do i go about doing it?
I know Harley Abs are prone to fail/ not work , and once its stuck , you need a new HCU...but im my mine still works at “ really low speed” so i know its not stuck yet or it wouldn't work period, plus i think , it would also not work ,when i took the 30 amp fuse out IF the HCU was already stuck...
I know some people are bypassing the abs brakes and leaving the ECU unplugged, but in my case all i have to do, is take the 30amp fuse out , am i damaging anything?
I See a lot of videos on YouTube People bypassing the system, and i can't understand why, when all i had to do was take the 30 amp fuse out
Am i missing anything? Is there anything else i should check?
I've done the brake fluid change every couple of years and im always checking for moisture in the brake fluid and all checks out ok....
Any help, advise you guys can give will be greatly appreciated.
