Changed brake fluid. Adjusted Clutch. Aligned rear wheel and adjusted belt. Didn't know you could change the brake fluid on an ABS bike without the digital technician. But some YouTube videos said other wise. Changed it with no issue using a vacuum pump. Clutch adjustment was piece of cake. Was worried about breaking that little red tab. Wheel was aligned but checking took some time and ingenuity. Only took 1/4 turn per side to go from loose to in spec on belt adjustment.

YouTube is great. I thought the point of the digital tech was to exercise the ABS unit and get that old fluid out.

I bought my own device and that really exercises the ABS unit. Seems it lasts for at least a minute, multiple times. Have not done my softail yet, but have done my tourer you see below. I would not bleed without using one after hearing there have been troubles w/ HD's ABS unit.

I just followed the you tube directions. When the fluid was coming out clean I stopped. It's more fluid than I am used to seeing when flushing. Likely didn't get it all. But the old fluid actually looked pretty good. And I replaced the vast majority of it. So I am calling it good.
