GTS I already see the problem - lack of chrome wheels............
Either that or as most do it was front brake happy on a non-abs bike.
I get used to my beemer with abs which shuts down fast and strait then get on the 919 to find out when you start shutting down for a corner that the back does an easy lock up and almost ruins your day.

I use the Mity Vac to where I see all fluid coming out of the bleeder start tapping the lever to see if bubbles are forming in the master cylinder. I have even had to pull a brake or clutch lever off and use a round rod to push the mc piston in further to make the air bubbles go away. Those may have been mc rebuilds that I did?
I think the moment I said Mity Vac this thread got hijacked so my apologies to the original poster.
thats generally not a good idea.
if you push the cup past the hole, it can damage it.
ive seen it happen a lot.
no issues with the mc, just doing a standard flush...then lose pressure after.

Well not really. Air and other contaminates in the lines lower the boiling point, not only because they have lower boiling points than the fluid itself, but because they reduce the pressure in the system. When the system boils those contaminates turn to vapor. That's when shit starts getting mushy. Even if the lever feels firm after you're done bleeding there can still be air in the system, and lever feel will get worse as you ride. Water isn't the only thing that lowers the boiling point
Not to be confused with brake fade caused by the pads themselves.

An evacuator or a power bleeder works just fine, but everybody, including me, finishes off with a simple pump, hold, crack.
Yep
