Hi all my names dave from wales and I have the fazer 1000, 2002 model.
I have just bought a second hand rear master cylinder from a breakers yard in Bristol because the old one I removed was in an appalling condition, rusty, scored in the bore etc...
So, I have fitted new one, ok second hand.. problem is I have filled the pot with Dot4 but its not going down through the system !
I am pumping the pedal while opening the bleed valves as per the Haynes manual but to no avail. Nothing is happening !
I am now in the process of leaving it for several hours and trying again later. Feels like I am doing something wrong !!
Does anyone think I may need a vacuum pump to draw the Dot4 through the system ?
If anyone can think of a solution as Im getting desperate ( and missing all this sun ) !!!
Thanks for any suggestions.
