[QUOTE="sick 96 250, post: 1220749, member: 54932"] You took the bolt out with the cotter pin? Are you referring to where it attaches to the pedal? The normal way to bleed the brakes is you pump the pedal a few times and hold in down "for the rear". As you are holding it down, there is a little nipple on the back of the caliper at the rear of the bike where the pads are. You unscrew that nipple maybe a 1/4-1/2 turn, in doing so you will feel the brake pedal lose pressure, keep holding the pedal down and tighten the bleeder nipple back up. Repeat this several times until you get the brakes working. When the bleeder nipple is open do not let the brake pedal come back up or you will suck more air into the line. You also do not need to push down extremely hard on the pedal when you are doing this, just apply enough pressure so it goes down. As for the kicker, really cant tell you but it is possible its messed up. Could be something really simple once you pull the side cover off but cant be certain without seeing or feeling exactly what is going on. [/QUOTE]
