last november i changed all my brake hoses for a wof
got a wof had it out 2 or 3 times since then and the brakes started feeling a bit soft after awhile
went to try it out the other night and have no brakes at all
tryed bleeding them all again and still soft
fluid level is alright no signs of it been leaking but their must be air getting in from somewhere
any ideas of where to start looking i was planning on taking it on Rakia cruise

Get someone who's knows how to correctly bleed brakes lend a hand.
Its a basic job, but if you do not know the correct method it is easily cocked up.

Start from the L/R and pressure bleed. L/R, R/R, L/F, R,F
Pump the peddle a couple of times. Hold pressure then get someone to gentle open the nipple ( Hehe nipple)
Close the nipple once the foot peddle has reached the floor, then raise the peddle.
Rinse repeat 3x times per corner. watching the M/C constantly.

Report back once complete.
