bleeding brakes on a 400ex????

[tom416ex]

put new calipers and pads on my 400. (fronts). bled the lines, well atleast tried to. no air really came out, they work now but dont feel like they work as good as they should.......... I opened the valve to let the air come out, no bubbles, pumped the brake lever a bunch of times, no air or bubbles. what else am i suspose to do to make them work like they should???

try to bleed them one at a time again, i put a long 12" hose on the bleed screw and hold it vertical above caliper, this help keep air from entering from screw. once you get them both done then pull and hold front brake lever and crack the screw loose where lines leave master cylinder, you might have to do this a couple times and you should haveit.
