Dude are you freakin serious? Rear brake problem.
Hey guys, Ok, kinda ticked off here I just purchased my 2000 ninja from a guy 3 weeks ago rear brakes were quit worn but had no problems, great pressure and everything. The putz offered to replace my pads I said ok, sure no problem so pads come in the guy replaces them and now for some reason, no freaking brake pressure! After almost an hr of bleeding and still no luck please help!

Did the piston come out of the bore? You shouldnt have to bleed doing a pad swap.. My knowledge is cars more than bikes.. can you bleeed at the rear master and then the caliper?

I have a feeling that you will need to tear the caliper down and replace the seals before it will work properly. Are you leaking fluid onto the rotor yet? That's a sure sign of a damaged seal. Other wise you may want to bleed the brake yourself to make sure all the air is out.

Problem solved guys thanks, turns out that the brake pads were not seated correctly therefore not making contact with the rotor all is well now Thanks!

Note to self... If you want it done right, do it yourself.

I don't understand how you have time to complain when you could be helping him fix this..he really has no obligation to fix your bike after he has sold it to you no matter what he has said.
