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.

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?
