JUST got around to bleeding the front brake on my '06 EC300 after having the bike for 8 mo. I knew it was dry (bike was shipped TX-to-CT), so I filled the master and hooked up my nifty vacuum bleeder to the bleeder bolt. It began to draw air/fluid, but I closed the bleeder to look at the master fluid level, then started back at the caliper and cracked the bleeder, and NOTHING would come out; the vacuum would not draw, and when I finally took the bleeder bolt out completely and pumped the lever, nothing came out of the caliper.
So I dis-connected the brake line banjo, and yes, fluid will pump out of the line, but not thru the caliper (even though it did initially).
I've re-built a few calipers in my day, but I'm wondering if it's worth it, will all the Nissin calipers on Ebay, new and used.
I can find CALIPERS that look identical to mine (Yamaha, KX, and Honda look like they all use this caliper), but the mounts look different; can this caliper easily be separated from the mount?
This is the LAST thing keeping me from riding it. I took it around the yard with just the rear brake, and it kinda scared me because it seemed so FAST, and it's been 21 yrs since I rode my CR250. Am I crazy or what??!!
