Got my calipers back today after having them refurbed with new seals etc, went to re fit them to the bike with new hel braided lines and there is a big problem. We can get fluid to the calipers, then the fluid coming out into the bleed nipple and pipe is nice and clean no air but there is absolutely no pressure whatsoever at the lever. This is so frustrating because it was the very last job I am doing on my fazer rebuild since my accident, this was meant to be the last easy piece in the puzzle.
My Dad fitted the brake lines, he put the yellow label at the top and the black rubber bit at the caliper end is this correct? Just ruling out anything strange we may have missed. We have tried priming them, bleeding them manually and also used a vacuum and it is all resulting in fluid entering calipers with minimal air bubbles or completely clean but absolutely no pressure at the lever. The fluid is not leaving the reservoir very quickly either. I am now thinking the master cylinder has somehow had it? Any help would be massively appreciated!
