I'd try bleeding the brakes before heading to the dealer. If you didn't squeeze the lever the only fluid you should have lost would be in caliper and maybe in the line. That line goes up to the T fitting under the bottom of the fork tree. Then a single line goes all the way to the back of the bike to the ABS module. Only if air was introduced into the module would you need the dealers special equipment. I doubt very seriously that happened based on your description.

 

Sounds like a reasonable plan. Good luck!

 

you can bleed the brakes with abs...just don't power up the bike.. as when you do the abs cycles and may suck air in..as long as you don't turn on the bike you just bleed it like any other bike...if for some reason when you are finished bleeding the brake feels spongy then you need to take it into the dealer for bleeding...

 

curious how this turned out as HD only sells the entire caliper assembly and there are no rebuild kits on the aftermarket?

can't buy seals etc in any form of kit from HD.

Working on a 2012 Ultra caliper and found this out this week.

 

So what was the end result? how did you handle your issue?

Per post directly above, one cannot buy individual seals from HD or anywhere for that matter, so wondering how you handled this issue and what the outcome was?

Thanks.

 

You can buy caliper rebuild kits on Amazon for under $40.00 so I am certain after market shops have them.

 

If you have the Bembo caliper, and you do decide to replace the seal, your service manual will tell you it's not serviceable and that you need to buy a new caliper, your HD dealer will tell you the same.

They are both wrong.

The seal kits can be got at the links below and a Brembo caliper is as easy to repair as any other.

Seal kit from Drag Specialties #1702-0125, just used these to rebuild my calipers and only $13.95 on the Bay if you decide to rebuild. I'd say you are fine, just bleed brakes as the caliper is the last point in the system.

 

It should be fine, but best practice is to rebuild the caliper, which includes disassembly, clean, rinse, replace rubber seals, re install, and bleed (again)
If you don't let the master run dry, you wouldn't need the dealer to flush it, you can do it yourself
