Having problems bleeding brakes.
I managed to get some pressure into the front and then zip tied the lever back to the bars to pressurise the system. Left for 2 days and now pressure is good.
I just can't get any pressure into the rear though. Got the fluid going though and sucking from the slave cylinder end, but absolutley no pressure on the pedal
. Spent about 2 hours on this. It was really difficult on the other bike as well but I had done it by this time................

Try just pressing the pedal gently, with bleed nipple tight, but fluid res top off. Press slightly an keep it in one position for a bit.
I find when doing this that tiny bubbles come back into the res. Then it seems to create enough pressure to bleed via the nipple

Don't need John's help anyway
.
I took the caliper off the back and held it up so the brake line went vertical. This seemed to clear the air and the back brake now works

This version will never make a 'Sticky' as it's a copy. A sister to the first Mk1 if you will
