2016 Street Glide ABS light
Good morning All,
I just bled my brakes and got air in the line. Since this happened, I reverse bled the brakes and saw the air come out and still had the ABS light blinking. I took the bike for a test ride and hit the brakes hard a few times and the ABS light no longer blinks. Has anyone else a similiar experience? Is my ABS system working again? I did not take it to the dealership for the digital tech to be use.

Normal. For the light to be on until you start to roll.

True, for a simple brake fluid flush that you did, the ABS doesnt need to be activated, its even in the Shop Manual.
However,
Only time you need to have the ABS activated at the dealer is if you get air in the system.
So, you saw that was true but did some funky maneuvering and got the light to go out. If that was me, that would say my system is working fine and I can EASILY confirm that by slamming on the rear brake hard when going over 30 MPH and see if the ABS activates, if the rear wheel doesnt lock up I would not concern myself anymore.
So yes, I think it would be working fine, but to answer your question in a forum the only answer would be to have a dealer, for whatever piece of mind you may want, check it out.
For me, I would 100% feel comfortable by simply slamming on the rear brake at higher speeds and try to lock up the rear wheel.
Not sure why the comments on the ABS light blinking but the ABS light ALWAYS blinks until you start moving, its in your owners manual.
