Pick up a cheap syringe. I did the same the other day just for bleeding the brakes. Triumph also have an 'interesting' setup on what are otherwise excellent brakes.

That doesn't really work either, I tried that when I changed the m/c last time

Well i've spent about an hour bleeding the rear brake (the Aprillia way) and adjusting the push rod thing on the pedal there is a slight improvement but it's still pretty dire.
The pads look a bit worse for wear so going to through new pads and a new disc at it next week and see how that goes.
