I know you need to bleed up the m/c
Which i believe i have done, Put finger over the hole where lines bolt up, and pull brake lever, and release the pressure, to try and get fluid flowing, which i have done, then i bolt the lines to the m/c then to the calpiers, and then i can pull pull lever as much as i want and doesn't seam to do jack.
I don't have a vacum bleeder i only have one of the old style normal bleeder system with a two way valve.
Anyone have any idea what i am doing wrong?
What I've done in the past is squeeze the brake leaver and loosen the top banjo bolt (Put a rag round it to catch the brake fluid), tighten and repeat. Should only take a couple goes before you should notice you've got lots of pressure.
Don't worry about the calipers etc until you get you get pressume on the lever as it won't make any difference at all.
Doesn't your radial MC have a bleed valve? If so that might work as well.
Life is difficult because it is non-linear.
