Hi Guys and Girls.
I'm after a bit of input, as to my present woe. I've almost finished rebuilding the once wreck of a '99 R1, and i'm having all manner of problems bleeding the rear brake. I've installed HEL braided stainless brake lines, front and rear, to standard callipers (with Brembo pads). I also have Goodridge hydraulic brake switches, aswell. I've replaced the guts of the rear Master Cylinder with a genuine Yamaha OEM kit, and I STILL can't get the brakes to firm up. The crush seals have crushed....the parts are new.....and my patience is wearing thin, to say the least. The only thing I can think of, is that there's a HUGE air lock somewhere, and I can't make it move. I've vacuumed the lines, tried good ol' fashioned pump and release, and prayed to the brake Gods (Just in case...) I've bled many brake systems on bikes and cars, and have never come across this kind of frustration before. Any ideas? Any input is good input. Thanks in advance.
