I have an 81 CB750C that I got as part of a trade deal. The bike had been sitting for a few years. All original. 7K miles. When I got it, the calipers were stuck, and you couldnt move the front tire. Got it home, pulled the calipers, cleaned them, didnt change anything. The rubber and pistons looked good. Threw them back on the bike, and before I attached the lines, I put the lines in a bottle and pulled the brake to verify that fluid is getting to the calipers. All looks good. I reattached the brake lines to the caliper and bled the brakes. The bike is on a bike stand, and I spun the tire and pulled the brake. It kept spinning. I pumped the brakes a few times, and then it stopped. I bled them again, and same thing....you have to pump the brakes before they actually kick in. I changed the master cylinder, bled the brakes, and same deal. I pump them 2 or 3 times before they work.
since doing brakes is all new to me...what am I missing??
