[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1455209, member: 19880"] To clarify ...the lower of the two bleeder screws on the right caliper bled from the rear brake pedal and rear reservoir... If this line isn't bled, you will never get pressure on the rear pedal. Unlike many, I have never felt the need for either a vacuum bleed or Speed Bleeders on a motorcycle where I can easily access the bleeder screws and the brake pedal/lever - unlike with a car. Personally, I am a fan of the traditional bleeders with the "squeeze to pressurize-loosen bleeder-depress lever fully-tighten bleeder-release lever method". As Dan suggested, a reverse bleed should work if you can't get pressure any other way. Good luck - I'm sure you will be able to resolve it. Note: Using this method, do not do a quick squeeze or release or you will fountain brake fluid from the reservoir. Protect your paint with an abundance of rags - some people put a quarter in the reservoir to prevent fountaining... [/QUOTE]
