Default Brake Line Installed

Well I installed a brake line today. Removed it and installed new one. Reverse bled with a oral syringe at the nipple and injecting until master was full. Got everything together, it pressurized, no abs light came on at all. Reading threads seems like everyone's abs light comes on for a few miles and then goes off. Think I have a problem?

I do have to say I should have went with magnum chromate or whatever they are called. Did drag specialties and the brake line with way dirty looking compared to the clutch cable.

In short... no.

Doesn't matter how you bleed the system with respects to pressurizing the fluid in the line via actuation of the foot or hand lever or pumping it in at the caliper.

I must be one of the few who's ABS light didn't come on for a few miles when I bled and filled the system.

Sweet, well I guess it must have worked then. I supposed I should check and make sure the abs does kick in at some point. 😱
