Hooked an electric vacuum pump up to the bleeder valve and everything. I took a peek at the master cylinder and noticed he'd put the black rubber diaphragm, that normally rides on top of the fluid, in and then poured the brake fluid on top of that. Sounds like an obvious thing to check, but just thought I'd share. -Kyle On Sat, May 28, 2011 at 8:06 AM, Allen Thomas <[email protected]> wrote: +1 Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T From: James O'Gorman <[email protected]> Sender: [email protected] Date: Fri, 27 May 2011 23:32:43 -0500 To: <[email protected]> ReplyTo: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Brakes please help Hmm... With cars, they always recommend bench-bleeing the master cylinder to get the air out of the main piston. You could try to run an old hard line (or some kits come with a bench-bleed plastic hose) out the main port and it will dump directly back into the reseviour. You should be able to bench-bleed it until no more air comes out the line, then hook the regular line back up and go from there. I'm thinking you may just have too much air up in the master cylinder and it can't create any pressure. - James O On May 27, 2011, at 11:17 PM, [email protected] wrote: I am getting very annoyed i rebuild my front master cylinder and front caliper hooked it all back up and i can't get any fluid out of the bleeder valve the brake pad isn't even moving i don't know what i'm doing wrong i pumped the crap out of the handle and still nothing i can't figure it out does the bike need to be running? or what can i be doing wrong -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
