Had the same problem on my 2018 Heritage, bled the brakes and no further problems, Never figured out how the air got in there, system was never opened

Do you guys think a reverse bleed would push out an airbubble like that or is that a 100% "do not go pass go, go straight to dealer, pay $200s" situation?

Nice...Lidlox is great (love mine)...especially when you inve$t in $pendy lid (current Nexx is $400). Nice not carrying my "helmet purse" all over the place.

i don't know enough about the abs module they just flushed the back brake system.
145 buck taxes in, one hour shop time.
They of course could not put that as warranty.

Same thing happened with my '19 Heritage. Yours makes five bikes I've heard of with this. Two others in this forum and when my bike was in the shop for the rear brakes, there was another '19 Heritage in the shop with the same issue.

This is more than coincidence or "bad luck."
