I decided to hook up my vacuum pump/brake bleeder kit to the bike and try to suck out the old cruddy fluid....it's supposed to do that real well...maybe if I can get that stuff out of there and good fluid into it, it'll work ....
it COULD happen ! LOL.....
probably the reason it isn't pumping worth a darn is the check valve in the master cylinder is stuck open with crud,,,if I can suck it out with the vacuum pump it may well start working and I won't have to take it off till I replace brake lines... I plan on pumping about 2 reservoirs through the master cylinder to clean it up... but I do not plan on using kerosene in the system ! which is recommended by the manual.... as you can never get it all out of there !
....
so we'll see if the vacuum pump saves the day tomorrow...
....
