[QUOTE="jackson409, post: 37253, member: 381"] I just installed new line, brake handle and put fresh fluid in my wifes bike and had an issue with the air in the line from being new. It took quite awhile to get it bled out. I had to prime the line then adjust the brake handle to make sure the push/pull or draw pump action was working correctly in the master cylinder. What I mean is, if you have your brake adjustment to far in on the master cylinder(this happens when you adjust to make up for worn pads) you won't get the right amount of push or pull from the plunger that enters the master cylinder. Basically what happens is the O'ring is already past the valve inlet inside the Master cylinder and when you hit the brake there is no pump or draw circulation. [/QUOTE]
