Dealer tried to sell me BS
I took my 11 flhrc ( V&H power duels, pcv, se ac, se255)to the dealer because the light for the antilock brakes comes on some times while I am driving (and then turns off after a few minutes)..and this is what they came up with..the light that was coming on was the check engine light and that the reason it was on was because I don't have 02 sensors and don't have the TFI o2 bypass installed..they would install it for me for $39...I said no thanks pcv don't need it on 08 and later bikes...he said well, the check engine light will continue to come at times and that I REALLY should have it installed...I tried to tell him that the check engine light was not an issue..it never came on..and that the issue was the antilock breaks light wash coming on...finally he said there is nothing wrong with the antilock breaks ...I said thanks and went on my way....never to return...By the way the name of the dealer is Battley Cycles in Gaithersburg Md....I believe what happened was that they plugged the bike in to the scanner and found nothing for the AB and then saw the historic codes for the o2 sensors and figured I didn't know the difference between the AB light and the check engine light...but who knows ...all I know is I am not going back there for service....

I would have him say "We can't find anything wrong with the ABS, but we noticed that the EFI has a code for the lack of o2 sensors which could have made the 'check engine light' come one", is it possible that the light you saw was the check engine light??
