Braking
I have a 2015 RT Limited with about 6200 miles on her. The other day, while traveling on secondary roads, I had to apply the brakes harder than normal but not as hard as a panic stop. The bike dove and pulled hard to the right. It has not done this again. A friend had the same think, with the same conditions, happen to him and again it has not happened again. During our riding, either secondary roads or highway, the bike run straight and true. We have the Baja Ron sway bar and Heim links installed, and have been laser aligned at our dealer. Has this been noticed by anyone else? Has anyone found a cause? We are open to suggestions.

Where your tires sliding?
Where you in mid-turn, when this happened?
Under almost any hard maneuver; most vehicles will behave a little bit differently.
I've gotten heavily into the ABS a few times, and the bike stopped straight and true.

Tires were holding firm and was setting up to enter a turn which I felt I was entering it with too much speed.

I had the same thing on my 2014. I haven't done any testing yet, to see if it has a ABS problem or just a fluke.
One of the hardest decisions you'll ever face in life is choosing whether to walk away or try harder.

Could also be..
the road surface you were on. Many roads are designed in such a way to allow drainage, which is to say they are not absolutely flat. They have some pitch and grade to them. Now, I'm not saying with 100% certainty that this is what caused your issue..I'm simply providing a plausible explination.
IT IS, WHAT IT IS...

Some SOB in a P/U truck------
Pulled out in front of me on Sunday. After the drive up from Las Vagas I was moving along directly to get home. About 2 miles from home I had to get on the brakes hard ( but not enough to activate the ABS) . stopped straight and true.

Tires must have identical , tire wear, air pressure value, road surface, brake rotors equal conditions, air in the brake lines?
