Default Touring ABS brake bleed

Hi Guys, I'm from down under and can't get a straight forward answer here. I own a 2010 ultra limited and need to flush/replace the brake fluid front and rear on my ride. The ABS has me worried. I have viewed you tube videos on a 2008 road king and using a mighty vac it looks pretty straight forward. Any info would be appreciated. G'day again from Aus - my first post!

Red, welcome to HDF from the UK! I am sure this has been covered in here before, so you could use the 'Search' facility for 'abs bleed'. Also call in the Touring forum here, where you will find plenty of '10 owners and help from them. However if you are going to do your own maintenance, you really should get the factory service manual. That will cover most if not all you need to know and we can answer any queries you get. Things like online videos can be helpful, but are no substitute for that book!

I had ABS on my '08 and now on my '12 - have done the brake bleeding a few times using the time-honored "pump and hold" method.

Worked great with no problems. I think you'll be fine as long as you don't disconnect a line and introduce a large amount of air into the system.
