URGENT - braided hoses - no resistance
Hi guys, bit urgent this one as currently I have no brakes on the front.
Fitted braided hoses, been bleeding the brakes for ages now, all the air has come out of the lines, and there is resistance when the nipples are untightened. And yet when the bleed nipples are tightened back up there is no resistance on the lever. Also the right hand side line is pumping fluid through but the left is not. HELP!!! |

Mabey one of the bolts holding the lines on are not tight enough. Did you use the copper washers?
If the right has fluid pumping through then continue on the left it should eventualy come through.

You still have air in the line Jake. Its a long task of getting air out of the front lines. Go get youreslef a long length of windscreen washer hose and suck the fluid through (DOnt let it get to your mouth). Remember, only do one caliper at a time.

More often than not it's air in the master cylinder. You need to bleed it.
Have a look here http://forums.sv650.org/viewtopic.ph...hlight=#494159 Cheers Ben
