September 4, 200916 yr Hi all, I recently bought myself a new toy... A 1997 GasGas Fortuna 270ccm Starts on first kick everytime and is a blast to drive...! BUT, I have just changed the brakepads and thought I should replace the old brakefluid. I am currently in the process of doing just that atm but things wont go my way... No matter how long I pump and bleed the lever, the fluid will not build pressure!! Seems like the fluid doesn't wanna come to the caliper. Any tips? I'm so sick of not beeing able to use it! :S I'm bleeding the clutch aswell atm, I pump approx 5-6 times, keep the lever in, opens the valve, closes the valve, repeat. No matter what the clutch just wont work right.. Anyone been in the same situation? Will post some pictures tomorrow, thanks for now. Cheers, Sondre..!
