    After a bleed I always cable tie the lever back to the bars (or as far back as I can) and leave it at least overnight. For some reason the extra pressure seems to clear out any air in the system.
    I've used the same trick on cars before too...

      still fighting. used a cable tie around the lever overnight, and it seemed to fix it, until i actually began riding, and it all went back to regular (lack of) pressure.

      shopping around for replacement master cylinders... I think the M/C bore size for the 80 gs750E is 14mm. anyone know off the top if that's correct?

      thx!

        okay i believe i found that it's a 5/8 bore. according to a picture in the manual for the '83.
