Brake bleeding with ABS? - 5/18/2008 7:11:43 AM

Was getting ready to install new levers and noticed while reading the install instructions to consult the 08 service manual on the bleeding procedures for models with ABS. The non abs models is explained with the new parts. I have air in the front brake line as well and the street glide is brand new. Anyone have that service manual or can explain to me how it is to be done.

Thanks, Scott

Page 1-30 of the '08 Touring Service Manual suggests...if either the ABS module or more than one brake line was removed, confirm proper re-installation using the Digital Technician II.

Other then that, doesn't appear to be different from the non-ABS systems...

Hope that helps.

Thanks, so it sounds like if the system isn't opertaing correctly after it's bled it may may need to be re-set by the digital technician
