My front brake lever will squeeze right to the bar and I have no front brakes at all. When I tried bleeding the lines on both wheels I would get a solid stream of fluid and no air bubbles. It does not appear as though there is air in the line. Can anyone advise me what I should be checking next. I also do not see any fluid leaks anywhere from the brake system.

You prob will have to rebuild the master cylinder. same thing happened with my bike . . . i would pull the lever in and it would just go clear to the bar and no matter how many times i bled the brakes it still wouldn't give me any front brakes.

Thanks for your reply. Can you give me more details on what a master cylinder rebuild entails. I've never done this. What parts do you think I'll need?

Well they have just a master cylinder rebuild kit that comes with everything you'll need . . . I had to go to a dealer to get the kit.
