I recently replaced the front tire on my 00 gsxr 600. Now i have to pump my front brakes 4 or 5 times to get them to work. Worked fine before changing the tire. I just slid the calipers off of the discs, and then back on. I tried bleeding the system, and that didn't work. Work well after 4 or 5 pumps, but is not very convenient. Can't see any leaks in the lines or calipers. Checked the discs with a straight edge, appear to be straight. Anyone got any ideas?

make sure caliper pistons are ok

Try removing and reinserting the banjo bolts. You already bled your breaks so this is counter productive but its worth a shot. Sorry for the shitty advice...

Are you bleeding at the master or the caliper? Sounds like you have air in the line. Bleed both the calipers and then do your master.

Like said above, bleed as many spots as you can, as many times as you can.......to ensure it's not air. I would take the caliper's off and check to see when you grap the brake if the piston's move out at all. They might be stuck which would mean a rebuild is in order.

I know this is a dumb question but my bike started doing the same after i removed the front wheel...i bled the calipers and still the same thing...Where exactly do i bleed the master cylinder from? Sorry for stealing the thread...
BTW its a 99 600

There is a bleeder valve (nipple) on your right clip-on next to the reservoir.

If it wont pump any pressure, how do I bleed the air out?

Welcome to the forum.

This is an old post so it is best for you to start your own post describing your specific issue and bike.

Air goes up, air doesn't like being forced down. String the calipers up above the master cylinder.

Keep pumping.
