Air lock in the line...
motor bikes are a real bitch at times...
air travels up... Helps if the bleed nipple is the
highest part of the system...
take the caliper off put something between the pads
hold it above the master cylinder/pump while you bleed it..

Front brake... I take the master cylinder
of put it on a old set of bar , put it on the ground lower
than the caliper....

Another trick that works sometimes is to lay the
bike on it's side.... helps remove the hight diffrents...
