I have an R6 front brake mounted upside down going into my rear brake MC. After bleeding the rear brake first, i bled the hand brake. Even after bleeding the **** out of it, i have to grab a fistfull to even slow down. I cant lock it up by hand. Any suggestions would be helpful. I may head down to autozone to grab a vacuum bleeder. The bike is a 97 F3.

I think i figured it out. I was bleeding the HB with the lever mounted upside down. Gonna flip it and bleed again.

The lever doesnt matter, mount it up where you want it, then bleed it. But the reservior needs to be right side up at ALL times.

Pump the lever, Hold it in, and release the banjo on the master until a bit of fluid comes out, then re-tighten.

Pump again, Hold it in, and release banjo on the rear caliper, then re-tighten.

Pump again, Hold it in, and release the bleeder on the rear caliper and tighten.

 

I bled mine with an air bleeder, and the mc unbolted. Bleed the MC with the inlet pointed straight up. Hope you get it done! later
