I have an 06 sv650s. recently took the brakes off to give them a good clean and removed the pistons too. having put them back I primed and bleed the front brakes with no issues. however, the test brakes are turning into he'll for me!

I've bleed them for 3 days now and there is clear fluid with no air bubbles coming through however, upon pressing to brake lever I can see the piston move but it does not have enough force to come out enough and push the pads down, it does slow the wheel a little but I can still move the wheel with my hands when brakes are fully engaged.

what did I do wrong? am I missing something, I did have the bleed a completely dry system.
