You can bleed 500 gallons through a system, and not get all the air bubbles out.

You got to flip both masters around while your bleeding if you want every last bit of air out

i even had clay dix help me bleed it and i always flip the handbrake master but what do you mean when you say you flip the foot master

i went out yesterday and it would not lock up for ****

so i bled it some more and got some air out. now it feels alot better. plus i got race pads on the bike and the suck unless they are real hot. regardless i need new pads and a rotor any way.what is pissing me off is were the reservoir line hooks up to the master it leeks i think its the line but who knows

they can be a pain in the *** right there. dont know what setup your running, but one of the guys i ride with, his wouldnt lock up for ****, rode the hell out of it, broke the pads into the rotor, it is now the most powerful handbrake ive felt. hohey dual caliper four piston are no joke.

make sure the line isnt just sweating, cuz if it is its the line, mine does that and its annoying as hell.

Re: brembo squishy?

Brembos are squishy the black ones not the poop old ones. Your line is leaking because you have to zip tie the ends.

One finger lock has nothing to do with squishy. Im sure your power wheelies arent hard to lock up.

Until you buy the dual caliper this will always happen.

I had the same problem, no matter how much I bled it it there was always a delay on the hb to fb or vice versa. Went dual caliper and never had to worry about it again
