Still no rear brake

[mayo]

I had a broken brake switch, so I replaced it. Now when I bleed it I still get no rear brake. Does anyone have any experience with the rear master cylinder? I think that may be the problem now.

Thanks
Mike

Got brakes, ride hard!

For those that didn't know like me you have to bleed them at the banjo bolt also.

I've never had to do this, but I have read about taking the caliper off the swingarm and raising it above the master cylinder. Put a spacer between the brake pads (wood, plastic, whatever you can find just thicker than the disk), and bleed it that way. When you get good pressure, mount the caliper back where it belongs.
