    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Painting my rear caliper and puttin' new pads on (GS1100) last night and it got late so I left the hose open and allowed three master cylinder bowls of mineral spirits run through the system then allowed three master cylinder bowls new brake fluid run through. When system was purged I put the top on the master cylinder and went in for the night. This morning got up early to put caliper on..........looks great, no problems........hook it up and it won't bleed. (I made sure that the caliper was totally clean and operating and it is).
Now, no matter what I do (unhook the line from the caliper) it won't @#$#%$##@ing bleed. What is the DEAL???
 
I had a dikkens if a time getting the master cylinder on my 450 to prime up properly; very difficult to get the air out. Had to inject fluid in through the outlet port and forcing it through backwords. Keep at it and you will eventually get it.
 
You might want to invest in a Mity-Vac brake bleeding tool, $35 or so from Sears. It'll suck fluid through from the bottom of the system.
 
Air lock, try opening the bleeder valve 1/2 to 1 turn put your finger over the bleeder hole, pump up the brake lever a few times and hold it down, remove finger from bleeder (while squeezing brake) cover hole in the bleeder release lever and repeat...
or fill master with fluid and leave bleeder open and let it gravity bleed till fluid comes out (it may take a while) and then bleed as normal, had to do that on my sons yamaha.
