I think you need FORscan of a code reader with service function on it or it maybe possible to use a ease bleed kit that keeps the master cylinder full if you don’t get any air in the system it may work.

I used easibleed on my 2016 Custom. Much better than pumping fluid through with the pedal as that takes the piston in the master cylinder to new places that might damage the seals.

The only tricky bit is working out when you have flushed enough fluid through at each wheel so to be sure, you use more fluid that actually necessary. Good job its not too cheap.

Taking the above into account, the only thing really that can go wrong is snapping a bleed nipple.

A good tip is to buy a moisture tester so you can see first if your fluid needs changing.
