I was told that was BS. You bleed it just like any other system.

Take it back and have it checked. Brakes issues are not to be ignored!

I just checked mine and put a tape to it. My lever moves 1 1/4" on any pull so no difference here. I have about 4K on the bike.

You have a NEW bike. Take it back to the dealership & have them check it out if you're concerned. You just don't bleed ABS brakes, there's more to it, according to the Service Manual. just my 2 cents.

Thanks. It's supposed to snow tomorrow and rain Saturday, GREAT !!!!!!!!!!! not.
So I'll just continue to stare at the damn thing and bolt on the stuff that arrives from UPS till I can take it to the dealer and have them look at it the following week. Appreciate all the replys.
