A few months after I had my 2007 Norge I was leaving a friend's house with a long, steep gravel driveway. I was using the rear brake when I noticed I could hardly bend my ankle far enough to apply the brake and I could not make the ABS activate even if I tried. I normally use the rear brake only on u-turns and slick surfaces so I figured I just had not noticed. When at home I bled the rear brake and gat a large amount of air and the pedal stiffened up so I thought all was fine. A few months later the same problem appeared and once again I bled the brakes and got air. I went for a ride the other day and while on a gravel road I once again noticed it and almost dropped the bike making a u-turn when I got close to the curb and realized I need to use thee front brake as the back was not working. I have not bled it yet but I'll bet I get air and it works again.
Has anybody ever run into this before? I have been riding/wrenching for 30 years and I never saw a system get air in it after it was bled unless it also leaked. I have no leaks that I can see. I am worried it has to do with the ABS and I have 6 months left on the warranty and want it fixed before it runs out if that is the problem but I do not see how.
