Banshee brakes problem

[syn]

Front brakes dont work!

I was replacing the bearings in my front right wheel yesterday, so i had the tire and hub off. The brakes locked up, so i bled them and loosened them back up with a little prodding, then put everything back on. When i added more brake fluid, it doesnt seem to want to leave the little resevoir on the handle bars, we've tried bleeding all the air out first, ect, and arent getting anything. Does anyone have any ideas? This is my first quad, and i've only done brakes on dirtbikes, so i am a little inexperienced, anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

The brakes aren't any different from a dirtbike, so that shouldn't make it anymore difficult for you. Make sure that the lines are clean, have you tried taking them off and blowing air through them to make sure it's not blocked by anything?

I just put new lines on my 400ex. I needed to...


-take the line off the resivor ( brake lever)
-put line in can of brake fluid.
open brake bleeder on claiper
-blow in can till fluid came out caliper.
-close bleeder on caliper
-quickly take line out of can and re-attach to resivor ( brake lever)


then I bled them the normal way, of pumping and bleeding.

That happend to me where the fluid would just sit in the res after i pumped it like crazy. What i ended up doing was sucking it with one of those gas siphoners. I put the siphon end on the bleeder valve and sucked it through to prime it then pumed it through.
