More brakes

[bigjak]

I have connected my brakes up but I can not work out if I have air in the system or my bike master cylinder isn't good enough to push car calipers. Does anybody have any ideas?
Should I be looking at a master cylinder that might push out more fluid / pressure?

what size is the piston in the MC, 5/8 usually works fine with the rear brakes that I have done, reliant drums, and sierra disc calipers

whats the leverage like, are you using the travel of the master?

I think I might still have a few air bubbles in the system, I left it overnight to settle and for me to calm down.
I do not know what size the master is but it is standard Suzuki, after another bled, I can now feel a little bit of movement in the caliper but have to use the full length of pedal travel.
Will bleed again and see if I have any more luck....
