Get two clear tubes.

Connect one end of each tube to the bleed nipples.

Then lead the two pipes up and make sure the top two ends return the fluid back into the master brake cylinder on the handle bars.

You now have a 'contunuous loop' for the fluid the circulate round the whole system. So you can open one or both bleed nipples on the calipers and pump the brake leave to you hearts content.

Make sure the feeds back into the master cylinder are open to the aire before the fluid drops back into the master cyl as this allows air to escape, if not you risk sending the air bubbles round again.

No more filling the master cylinder and you can circulate the fluid as fast you you like to dislodge the air.

ALSO try simple one man bleed tubes. They are orange rubber with a sliver stopper in one end and a slit on the side. As the rubber is soft the slit acts as a one way valve!! Magic and simple and they work. Mine cost £1 each so I bought two, saves faffing about.

Using the above two methods and a dose of paitience and a few coffees I managed to get the brakes bled.

They are difficult but not impossible, take your time.

Any other temporary remedy should be ignored as bleeding the pipes is possible.

Cheers
