If it seems you cannot bleed the system of air then there may be air trapped at the top banjo bolt (the fitting on the line that is fastened to the master cylinder).

The bolt will have to treated as a bleeder valve. Apply pressure - loosen bolt - pressure releases - tighten bolt - repeat.

It can get messy and the fluid will damage paint, plastc, etc. You can remove the MC from the handlebar to do this or leave it in place and use a few shop towels to catch the drainage.

If you don't want to get messy, get a small transparent hose & attach to the bleeder bolt. Put the other end inside a bottle of water.

When you bleed, just watch for bubbles that comes out inside the hose. Repeat the process until no more bubble comes out & you have good pressure on the brake lever.
