Why are you bridging across the mudguard?  :eek The best method for the fazer is 2 lines from the master cylinder, one to each caliper.

Because that's how it was done. May end up the other way, though. See how it goes tomorrow.

Is there any specific reason that it's the best method?

Equal pressure to both calipers immediately.

Easier to bleed as well. Less joints to make / fail.

I can see the equal pressure theory working, but there are exactly the same number of joints with either method.

Anyway: Fixed now.
Turns out that the washers on the right side were in need of replacing.
