bleeding handbrake

just bled my handbrake again, it was ok then i started riding then a small air bubble was at the top of the line, i parked it then the bubble got bigger.
it locks up the rear tire with 1 finger but theres fluid in the res. then air then fluid in the line? wtf?
will the bubble eventually get into the brake and ****** kill me?

Re: bleeding handbrake

^^ probably. Rotate the handbrake on your clipon so that the lever is facing the opposite way and bleed it like that.You will probably have to take off your clutch perch to do it. I can bleed mine like that everytime by myself in about 10 min.

Re: bleeding handbrake

Sometimes little air bubbles get into the banjo fittings and you actually have to bleed the banjos too bottom - up!

Re: bleeding handbrake

If it's a 1000rr master the lever gets jammed and has to be taken apart, cleaned and lubed!
