Bleeding rear break
I changed my swingarm to the Muzzy extended arm. I had to remove the caliper to drill larger holes up to 3/8" for the muzzy caliper mount. I have aready blead it in the past for the longer braided hose for extensions. It took just a few pumps back then with no problems. Now I can't even get the fluid to come out of the hose unattached from the caliper. Put the banjo fitting back on and I tried the vacume pump and got nothing at all from then on. Tried going back to the way the instructions in the manual state. Still nothing. Oh, all the fluid leaked out over night. Could I have possibly scared the master cylinder leaving it dry over night? Now the fluid will not leak out with the hose disconnected from caliper. I'll leave it over night and see if the fluid leaks out again. It just seams odd to me that the fluid leaked with out pressing the break lever. Hope I made since hear. Gave up couple hours ago. Couple beers ago actually. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It did what you said wee. Burped it at the master. Went great from there. Thanks
Now only if it would stop raining around here. Next week if its still raining, I might head to the old red river raceway.

glad that fixxed it, no expensive tools needed as requested in most of these brake threads, rain here too, KOTT is Sunday, looks like a rainout, when KOTT comes to Shreveport maybe we can meet up.

If my work schedule on the boat allows me to, I'll be there. Just trying to get lower 9's for the time being. Just 15 passes on the bike so far. I'll be looking for a 9.0 within the next 15 passes if I can ever get more seat time. Thanks again for the help.
