Need some help from the experts:
'83 K100 8v, no ABS. Never had rear brakes. replaced the brake disk (Motobins), the brake pads and the master cylinder (second hand unit off a K75). The master cylinder has good pressure and there is no flow back under pressure that I can see. No corrosion in the cylinder bore. I also replaced the bleed nipple.
Bleeding these brakes are a pain! Eventually, I used a big syringe attached to the bleed nipple to suck the brake fluid through the system till it was clear and without air.
Brakes worked well. Did not lock up under hard breaking, but very effective.
Next morning: No brakes, no pressure, nothing. No leaks and no flow back as far as I can see.
Please help
