hi,
recently bought a F650 GS year 2000 model - cheap and in need of some work.
one of the things that needs work are the rear brakes - i was informed that the rear master cylinder was buggered and needed replacing - so i got one on ebay which i have - i inspected and looks good - i fitted it and began to pump and bleed brakes but nothing was happening - fluid not getting through and i have now idea why.
i have checked all the joins and everything is tight - copper washers in place etc, resevoir full , cap of pumping like a mad thing with a bleed kit on the bleed nipple - opening and closing the bleed nipple as i pump and i am getting nowwhere quickly.
i have had the caliper off to see if it was seized and it is not as i was able to put the piston back in place no problem.
any ideas
hugh.
