cbr 600 rear sets

[joker79507]

Alright so I just put on the new rear sets but I dont have a rear brake.  I bleed the brakes but still no feel.  Should I just keep bleeding them until I get a solid feeling?  Oh and can someone upload a pic of how they mounted their reservoir if they used the stock CBR one.  Thanks guys

bump for an oldish thread.

I did the same thing, threw on some rearsets and now have no rear brake at all. Tried to bleed it with no sucess.
I had to change the angle on the master cylinder banjo bolt but I don't think it would be that. Could I have killed the rear master?

Thanks in advance guys.

Nope, everything is fine if you swapped out master cylinders too.  You need to bleed the air from the master cylinder.  It might be a two man job.  Same concept as bleeding it from the caliper but you need to loosen the bolt the connects the reservior to the master cylinder. My dad actually figured that one out after I was sitting there for an hour or two untill he stopped by.  I felt like and idiot lol.

Nice, I didn't think of that. Will try it tomorrow (It's 10:00pm here and I have an assignment due tomorrow night)

Thanks for the feedback

No problem, if your looking for a way to mount the reservoir ask chanse, he was coming up with something or you might be able to go to a auto store and get the same size hose but a bit longer so you could just re-use the stock location.  That was an idea I had before I just re-used the gs master cylinder.

Did you make sure you poured the fluid into the cylinder and not into the rubber peice that goes under the cover? some kid in my class has been trying to fill the lines on a bike at school for two days, and today the teacher finally went over help him, and the kid had taken the lid off the cylinder but not the rubber peice inside, so he poured the brake fluid rite into the rubber thing where it had no where to go.

A vacuum bleeder is always a handy tool.

I use a coke bottle and some clear fish tank tube, loosen the valve put on the tube pour some fluid in the bottle enough to sink the tube in the fluid fill up the reservoir then crack the valve open and pump until fluid level drops, fill repeat, fill repeat fill repeat, until nice clean fluid is visible and no air bubbles come out the close the valve without takeing the tube off or youll get air back in the line, then remove the tube. works like a champ. ONE MAN JOB.
