How are your brakes?, I've had hell with mine lately,since I took off the standard lines and put on braided lines just can't them up how they should be, I've changed the seals cleaned the pistons put new pads on and to get any sort of good bar pressure the lever is set on no1, I'm stumped.
Have you bled it at the front master cylinder? Reason I ask is that I missed this and ended up trying to no avail for hours until I bled it from there.
what he said, bleed from the MC (both from the bleed screw and the banjo bolt) them work ur way down the lines to each caliper making sure to keep the Res fluid from dropping too low in the process. HTH.
does sound like air to me re-bleed the lines again, i know it'll seem like being teacherly but you did change the copper washers did'nt you? once you done you could fit speed bleeders lovely piece of unseen engineering bling. I can bleed my brakes in about 15mins straight now and without having to brake my back.
