Very interesting ... yes big bubbles in the resevoir that push fluid out of the res , I think I was pulling the lever too much!

Its getting much better now.. almost a hard lever.

Interesting.. yes I guess I am pulling all the way in.. its how I've always bled brakes same on a car.. foot to the floor and up.  I didnt get a chance last night so will try again.

Thanks I will keep persisting.. I have a brake but must just be lots of air.. the M/C is new and worked perfectly before the strip down. Will bleed the banjos again top to bottom, then leave a strap around the leave and the cap off over night maybe to force air up.

Yes I bled the bolts.. really messy and panicking with all my nice paint ha!

the bubbles come when I pump the lever a few times to build up some pressure after a bleed and tightening of the nipple.. in the mechanical sense ha!

Thanks yes I probably haven't been patient enough.. one thing I am getting is bubbles out of the reservoir when releasing the brake lever.. not a lot but seem odd"!

Hi all,

Has anyone had issues bleeding up the front brake.. I have rebuilt the caliper, new pads, new M/C so all good. I have brake pressure but not much.. unfortunately I dont have use of a compressor to assist as feel it might need a little help. All the lines are tight but I keep getting bubbles in the line so I have no idea how its getting air in.. I assume the brake switch is an area for air to get trapped. The switch works as its operating the rear light I'm just struggling to get a firm lever.

Any tips.. its off for an MOT soon so my friend can do it on his system but would be nice to turn up a little more prepared.

I finally got my seat back. So its using the original base but with a 2.5" section taken out and re fabricated. The Upholsterers did a great job of my design and couldnt be happier with it!!

Also got the mudguard cut out so will post some pics.. its made for a challenge of what type of rear light to use but think I will go with a twin light just under the back of the seat above the mudguard.

Thanks guys.. it was working before, suspect must be a dodgy connection but want to run through the system.

So with the meter on ohms to do a continuity test I pop one lead on the yellow stator and then the other on a field coil wire.. is that correct. I apologise if a stupid question I am leaning each problem.
