The master cylinders to match the Brembo front brakes are different than the prior models.

Thats what I thought......

OK..so gravity bleeding got it much better...then I bleed it twice using the regular pump and hold method and it got worse.....back to gravity again tomorrow night.

I'm gettin there......I think

[mjb765]

Gravity bleed for a while tonight and replaced the banjo bolt up by the master since the stock one seemed to tighten up better. The new one just didn't feel right and always felt that the next little turn it would break. The stock one is a positive stop..once it's tight--that's it. CLutch seems much better--still hits a bit hard when going into 1st, but that might be the stock fluids since I didn't do the first service yet. We will see once it gets some Redline in the primary.

Thanks for everyones help!!!

I used these when I changed my lines during my bar swap.  They are very well made and very nice!  I used them with copper crush washers

Nice looking...but the last thing I want to do right now is open that line up again

     Actually, if you just disconnect and plug the line at the master cylinder, and keep it elevated, you won't have all that drama you had when replacing the entire line.  I've done it before when changing out the POS fairing brackets, and didn't have any air ever make it down to the actuator.  Just bled the small amount of air that collected at the banjo fitting after screwing it all back together.

I'd suggest that after you use the clutch for awhile you go back and bleed again, you'll probably find more air.  Start by bleeding at that banjo fitting, which tends to be the high point rather than the actual master cylinder, then at the actuator.
