I am watching a buddies 2014 Street Glide while he is deployed in the Marine Corps. When I start it up the ABS light comes on and flickers the entire time I am warming the bike up. I have rode it around the parking lot and have gotten on the brakes and it stays on. Is this normal. It just doesn't seem right to me.

 

No worries, the light flickers when abs is not active, witch is around 20mph if my memory is correct. I had the same reaction the first time I test rode a 14 touring bike.

Tell your buddy we appreciate his service. Wishing him all the best.

 

The light blinks on startup to let you know it is working. It should turn off once you start moving. I think it turns off at 5mph, but it might be 10. If it's on once you are riding, there is a problem. Does the bike have stock wheels?

 

Thanks scott. I was thinking I was going to have to bring the bike into the dealer for him. I will relay your message. The wheels are stock. Thanks for the info.

 

Excellent thanks for that info. I just got a 13 Road King Classic and thought something was wrong with it.

 

ABS flashing under 5 mph ABS working.
Question is why are you starting . Just starting and letting it run a bit is not a good idea.
