Re: Help

Easiest way is to get a small syringe and put a hose on it and fill it up w/brake fluid. Then open up the bleeder screw on your Caliper and put the hose on the bleeder screw and fill it full of fluid backwards until the mastercylinder reservoir is full of fluid and you dont see any bubbles coming thru. Then you can just pump the brake and bleed it the normal way to get the remaining air out of the lines.

Ive always had good luck w/this method. Just put a handbrake on my F4i and bled it with this method and it took maybe 15mins and it was done.

Re: Help

If you can't build pressure, your piston inside the master may be corroded enough that it will not retract after you pull your lever. If you believe this is the case, hit me up and I will walk you through the fix over the phone or I will fix it for you. No parts to buy, just some time to completely dismantle and douche the master.

Easily diagnosed...
I would disconnect the line from the maser and make sure it sends fluid when you pull lever. If not, it's clogged somewhere and will feel like it has pressure. If it does send fluid, reconnect the line and disconnect it at the caliper. Check the other end of the line for fluid when you pull lever. If you have fluid there, the line is fine and the problem lies in that caliper.

Doesn't matter if banjo is back in or not but that's where I would start.

Re: Help

Yeah take off the banjo and put your finger over the hole and squeeze the brake.. If it pushes fluid passed your finger the master is good.. If not the master is crap. I tried putting my old 636 one on my bike and it wouldn't push fluid passed my thumb..
