Broke down

[RKTNMYPKT]

Well she finally left me stranded
Was on my way home from a call in at work, suddenly it felt like I was riding through quick sand, I thought it was a flat at first but both tires are fine, maybe my brakes locked up?
Anyway sitting here on the worst corner possible awaiting a tow truck

Does she turn over?

That sucks, still under warranty I hope?? Have the dealer check the nut behind the handle bar!

All seriousness, I hope it's nothing major, good luck!

Very interested to hear what happened... I have the exact same bike. At least you were able to pull it over safely and aren't too far from home!

Well I was able to get her home, it turns out that the rear brake is locking up it freed up on its own on the side of the road and I rode it all the way home and then it locked up again in my driveway so it's sitting in my garage right now with the rear tire completely locked up
It has about 12,000 miles on it

That's strange. Maybe a fault inside the ABS? Or the rear caliper froze somehow?

Didn't we recently have a member take a bad crash from that same issue?
Be careful, Jimbo!

BTW - if needed, I have the brake tool!

At high speeds or in a corner it would have been trouble, I think I got lucky this time

Glad you got home okay. I suspect an ABS problem, but make sure you let us know what it was.
