I've managed to get the last piston out, cleaned and back in.
Bleeding took ages, usually it's tap the lever and a few tiny bubbles appear, vacuum bleeder on one caliper the the other then bled normally.
I couldn't even get fluid from the top master cylinder bleed nipple.
So I put some hose on it, filled with fluid, I'd pump the lever a few times and then open the nipple and get a bit of air out, then I'd have the bleed nipple open and allow it to suck fluid in, it looks like I had a air lock.
Took ages to bleed and I've still got a squash lever, I've tied it back overnight and we will see in the morning

I'm going to remove the master cylinder and ultrasonic clean it and see what happens, on a conventional master cylinder you can see the two holes that fluid goes through, I can't on these ones

Re: Zzr1100d
ve just refitted it and bled the system.
It's been in the ultrasound cleaner for about an hour, I've shone a bright torch through the tiny holes in it and got light the other side, not sure if it allowed light before though as I don't check.
Raining and up at 0220 tomorrow, test ride will have to wait
