Just cant get my brakes to bleed!

[2001Rm125]

Im new at bleeding but i took my tire off the change my tire and i opened the banjo to let some fluid so i could push the piston back...I got air in the line. I Had a wrench on the bleeder bolt and a hose after that the hose went into a cup full of fluid. I pumped it like crazy and bubbles did coem out but they stopped. The lever still pulls in all the way. Whats wrong?? and yes i filled the res everytime it got low!

Sounds like you have a big bubble in the line that is not bleeding out.

Take the entire caliper/master cylinder, hose and reservoir off the bike as a unit and hang it vertical on a wall over night. Tap the line a few times to dislodge the bubble.

Then lay the line straight out on the ground and bleed off the bike, with the bleeder elevated.

Or buy a vacuum bleeder.

did you get it? Another trick is to use a syringe (you can get one at your local vet or farm supply store), fill it with fluid and plug that into the hose on your bleeder. Then use it to push the fluid (and air bubbles) back up towards the reservoir
