Is bleeding brake system different?
Hi John, Coming at you here in a few. I sent the question to Bob
can you speak to the ABS electronic circuits
Sorry we had a audio issue he is reviewing now. Thank you
Audio at 1:00:00 – Last Question was; Can I install ABS on an non-ABS bike? Yes – if you have the money and the time. It is not recommended.
Hi bob.I have been bleeding brake systems on abs automobiles for years now with no issues.Why is abs tool necessary to activate the module on Harleys compared to just regulary bleeding the brakes on an automobile with the abs.
It is possible to bleed a Harley Davidson ABS brake system without issue.
That is; you can end up with a good lever feel and the ABS light will not stay on.
However, it has been our experience that when the Digital Technician or Centurion Super Pro software is used, the lever feel is always significantly better.
It is important to actuate the ABS module as part of the bleeding process.
Recently, Harley has been recalling ABS models. They want the ABS systems to be flushed and bled. It is common for the modules to seize up when they are not activated for prolonged periods of time.
2006 abs system how dependable is this system to a 2008 and up?
Couldn’t say that any Harley Davidson ABS system is better than another.
