Assuming the hoses are still standard, clamp the hose from the master cylinder. If it's still spongy you have air in the cylinder or time for a rebuild. It can be a bitch getting all the air out. The method I used on the R6 yesterday. Calipers hanging by the pipes. I have a milk bottle with a pipe running into it connected to the open bleed nipple, one side at a time. Topping up the reservoir and allowing the fluid to run through itself. Tapping and moving the calipers around. Once you start to get clear fluid I did up the nipple and operate to level a few time to push some of the pistons out a bit. Clamp the pipe, open the nipple again and push all the pistons home with your hands. Did this a couple of time per side and got a cracking level. Another is the big syringe connected the open nipple forcing the air and fluid upwards. Cover everything around the res as you will spill some. This way also works well. Have fun.

Having trouble bleeding the front brakes on my CBF600. After I did the calipers it appeared to bleed up fine with no bubbles coming out of the calipers but the lever wasn't that hard, would creep back to the bar. Brakes do bite but not strong enough for my liking. I initially thought it must be something I did wrong rebuilding the calipers so I cleaned up the old calipers and put them back on same result. Still have the lever coming back to the bar. Have bled and rebled the system but no improvement. Gave up for today but am going to have one last attempt tomorrow, starting off bleeding the master cylinder then down to the left caliper then right. I'm a bit stumped really, never really come across this before. Thinking could be something to do with the ABS pump or perhaps the master cylinder. Happy enough to rebuild the master cylinder, to be honest I wouldn't mind deleting the ABS system but I want to get to the bottom of what is causing the problem before going to the expense of buying new brake lines although it would be an upgrade.

your confusing me with a Harley owner
