Thanks allot everyone very helpful, I'll give it a crack on the weekend, you've all given hope!! Lol and black hat, that's the day I get a car... aha. But yea cheers lads I'll let you know how I get on. Ps not looking forward to the small talk holding a fuck off syringe at the check out Isle :L:L

Hello everyone, thanks for having a gander. Basic,y on my xt125 r I've been without a front brake for weeks and finally my master cylinders arrived. I replaced it and bled the system for well over and hour, still no pressure. So I kept filling the reserve up and with a tube on the bleed nipple I left it open and let gravity do its thing, still no bubbles just a constant flow. Again tried bleeding, no luck. So I wacked the calliper off and removed the pads, pushed the slave cylinder to the back, bled again, I saw that the slave cylinder is moving perfectly as I bleed it, tried it several times and it's simply working. I know how hydraulics work I'm studying engineering and it genuinely doesn't make sense!!! (Everything's nice and tight no oil leaking from fittings etc) Then if bad luck wasn't already slapping me around, my back brakes now sticking like mad lol not having much luck with brakes!! Aha. Someone please help!!! Thanks for reading really appreciate it, mechanics stand around with a thump up their ass saying gunna need a whole new system can't be dealing with them!! Lol Thanks again, Adam.

Apologies if I've posted on the wrong thread, burned an entire day on these god dam brakes and in need of help asap, one temperamental brake isn't fun for traveling 20 miles a day :L
