Motorcycle Repair: bleedin rear caliper, rear caliper, bigbear


Question
well my scooters a bigbear.the rear brake system is made by presion machine.any ways the brake on the back worked great,this bike has only about 200 miles on it.i thought the pads were hanging up so like a idiot i thought id open the rear bleeder and let a little brake fluid out.wrong.now i cant pump the pedal up.im getting clear fluid out of the caliper nor buy useing a sears hand pump and pumping the pedal but i just cant get no brake.it keeps going all the way down.i took the master cylnder apart and everything looks good.i keep filling the master cylnder up and pumping away but its just fruitless.any suggestations    steve   thankyou.

Answer
Sounds like you got air in the line. A small amount of air will keep them from pumping up. It takes alot of pumping to get the brake fluid through that small pinhole in the master cylinder. Keep going and they should pump up.
Good luck and happy riding
