Just disassembled, cleaned & reassembled the front MC & both calipers on my '95 750F Kat. New pads & braided SS lines ones too...
I cannot get it properly bled, lever is super spongy & travels almost to the grip. I bought a mityvac brake line bleeder and have cycled through what seems to be a quart of fluid & still there is a steady stream of bubbles from each bleeder. checked for leaks but it's all dry & tight.
Is there something I'm missing here, or are these front brakes just hard to bleed? Is there a trick you guys use the help this along?
I've bled lots & lots of brakes on different bikes but this one is giving me fits!!
Bought the bike as a project and the front brakes were all gunked up with nasty fluid so never really had a good baseline as to what they should feel like.
All suggestions welcome...
