anybody know about these bikes? trying to bleed the brakes but nothing but air. tried without the reevior cover on, tried bleeding at both ends of the master cylinder to caliper hose, tried filling the master cylinder and bleeding. and of course i tried using the bleeder but nothing but air comes out.
any tips?
 
have u tried reverse filling the lines? pull the caliper all the way out, pour fluid into it with the lines off, then put the lines on and push the caliper in til the fluid is coming out the top of the line. then holding it higher than the caliper possibly putting it onto the reservoir? fill the res before putting it on. obviously this only works while it's all off the bike. dunno if it will work but I don't see why not. I did it for a pitbike and it came out fine... just had it all off and decided it may be faster and bleed free if done right lol so ended up working out.
