Well it's been a few weeks and regular dates with you tube and any forum that offers a glimpse into the impossible world of bleeding brakes. Replaced the lines on my ZX6R and serviced the rear calliper. So far so good, the fronts all fine and withstood a good workout at the Odiham ARD in Sept. However, the rear will not play along or hold any pressure, any advice would be gratefully received. Here' a list of my efforts to date.
Reverse bled the line, 3 times so far
Stripped and replaced seals in calliper and rear brake master cylinder
Removed calliper and elevated whilst bleeding
Applied pressure to pedal overnight before bleeding the next day also with calliper elevated overnight
Cracked banjos in desperation to try and find any air when bleeding
Pushed the piston back into the calliper and bled, at last, signs of correct pressure
Then just when I thought I'd cracked it, pumped brakes and no real pressure ???? I'm sure there are a few other things but I let you know if anyone mentions them. By the way, no sign of any fluid leaking. Typing from the garage to distract myself from attacking bike with more abuseAny suggestions????? Cheers John
