Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong on this job? 91 K75S. I replaced the handlebar master cylinder with a new one about a year ago. I believe it worked fine with the old lines, though it's been a while and the bike has just been sitting. The top line has been off for a some time but I put the bolt back in the cylinder when I removed it, and there has always been fluid in the reservoir.
I have now replaced all three lines with Spieglers. I am using a Mighty bleeder at the calipers. I've gone back and forth to each side, sucking out the fluid. I've pulled about 1 1/2 cups of fluid out. I get no resistance at the handle. Although every time I pull the handle, air bubbles come up in the reservoir. The manual makes it seem so easy, and I've bled a few brake systems before. What should I be doing to get the brakes to work, that I'm not doing? Thanks.
