hi all, have just overhauled the front calipers on my fzr600r and have spent the last 3 hours trying to bleed them but no success , has anyone any ideas as to why they wont bleed. thanks

I,m presuming you haven,t got a leak anywhere? Is the master cylinder OK? Just overhauled the brakes on my FZR recently (new discs, pads, hoses). Took ages to build up pressure. Kept pumping (plenty of air bubbles came up through the reservoir), eventually built up enough pressure to bleed the remainder of the air through the nipples. Patience is the key!..... Hope this helps.

hi fella , sometimes if you back bleed the brakes to moisten the rubbers on first application then re beed as normal you may find sucess.try using a syringe with pipe to attach to bleed nipple best of luck !

many thanks will give it a go

try clamping the pipe that is leading to the opposite caliper up near the top, i had a problem like this before and it seemed to work.
