I would go with a two line set up ! I went with HEL and I used rubber fuel hose to clamp them in place .

Put the syringe on the bleeder at the caliper the furthest from the m/c and push fluid up through the system slowly and see if that removes the air. Basically backwards bleeding.

Is this supposed to force the fluid up into the MC? I've had similar brake issues and I tried this tonight and for the life of me I couldn't get the brake fluid to flow into the bleeder...

Just remember when you are bleeding brakes start with the side farthest from the Master Cylinder. It takes a little while to bleed the brakes. I installed a set of Venhill lines that I sell on my father in laws Venture. After getting everything set and tightened up. Took about 15 minutes to bleed them up and used one bottle of brake fluid. Use a whole bottle to make sure I flushed out the M/C.

Yeah in a nut shell you are trying to force the fluid up to the m/c. Do you have speed bleeders on your bike by chance?

I don't have speed bleeders that I know of since I'm not the original owner. I can understand how the fluid wouldn't flow into them if they were but is there any reason why I couldn't force fluid in if they are stock bleeders?

[Black_peter]

but is there any reason why I couldn't force fluid in if they are stock bleeders?

Yeah, if the Calipers are clogged up with crystallized brake fluid

[Jobberwocky]

That's true but I was able to bleed them the proper way. It just won't reverse bleed...

So theoretically, if I pushed fluid up from the bleeders it should freely enter the MC?

Edited my stupid post. Removed stupid.

HEL part number? i want colored HEL lines and cant find them on their site..

After rebuilding the calipers, replacing the brake lines, rebuilding the master and bleeding for weeks it turns out I had a bad master. Installed the new master cylinder, bled and immediately got a firm grip.

So you are all good to go now Edgar?

CONGRATS on the fix!

As far as brakes go, yes. Now I just need to find the vacuum leak, the RPMs hang on 2K.

What seems to be the trouble?
