Default ABS Question

Question to those in the know? I am about to install some PY apes on my SG. Bleeding the front brake and ABS, will I need the dealership's involvement in this? I have never dealt with ABS before. Thanks

You can do it yourself IF you don't cycle the ignition before you completely bleed the system. You bleed them exactly like a normal bike. If you do cycle the ignition while there is air in they system, you have to go to the dealer and have the bike put on the Digitech...I bought speed bleeders for my bike and made the process even easier...
