Do it backwards Nick. and watch the master cylinder, they are the problem. Bleeding them up is an absolute pig(if its the same as ours) If you ever need pics for the best way, giz a shout

But have you ever had the thing in bits?

Matts cagiva uses the same rear brake as your falcow, and it is a little awkward to bleed.

Also those mastercylinders are not nice devices. Get some rubber grease into the back of them BEFORE they sieze!
