I Have a 2010 FLHX and the Front Brake Handle / Master Cylinder is so tight to squeeze. The Calipers are ok as they do close & open but the pressure to squeeze the brake handle is way too much. Is that a bad master cylinder? It started getting tight a couple of days ago but it got real tight today. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for you help. TC

 

Have you done an introductory post yet? Do that first as a lot of guys are going to think you are just a troll. Tell us a little about yourself first.

 

troll or not,

if you're brake lever is hard to pull, then take your bike back to the dealer. there was another one on here who had the same problem and it turned out to be the abs module....

 

Thanks for the heads up

 

Thanks Skratch, Im beginning to think this is an ABS problem just from process of elimination

 

Have you compared the squeeze feel with power off and power on? One guy claimed his lever felt normal with power off, but got extremely hard with power on. It sounded as if the ABS was blocking fluid flow, hence no front brake, when the power was turned on. Never heard the final resolution on that one.

 

Disconnect the abs then go ride it to see if that was the problem

 

didn't mix brake fluids recently did you?

ABS Module took a dump! Cant really understand why other than itr is a part & parts sometimes fail! HD wants to go the $400 part & $200 + install.... NOT!!!
Bought a mod out of a wrecked bike and will do the change out myself.

 

Nope... Dot 4 only
