What did you run threw it? I am assuming bottles of Brake fluid? If so tell you procedure of how you did it?
And what did you do to your exhaust?

i ran three resavars of fluid threw it, i couldnt get then i had my freinds dad take a wack at it for my childish errors, and way the prosses i did i belive is called gravity bleeding or somthing, you take the cap off the resavar open the bleeder valve and we ran three resavars of fluid threw it in the end. and when we pumped the brake, nothing,and what i did to my exualst i removed spark arestor, polishdthe end cap inside it up a bit, and then you un pack it a little and push the packing out so its not on the baffle, just around the walls of the silencer, and line the baffle with the end cap so the baffle is lined up with the hole

To bleed the brakes pump 3 times, hold pedal down then bleed the nipple on the caliper on the rear axel, tighten the bleed then let up on the pedal. If you still have no brakes your master cylinder or caliper may be bad. Also remove the caliper and check the brake pads to make sure you have pads.

Brake bleeding is kind of a two person affair. You need about 1 foot of vacuum hose (that fits tightly over the bleeder screw), a glass jar, a good box wrench (preferably 6 sided - the bleeder screws tend to be tight and will round off). Pre-loosen the bleeder screw & softly re-tighten. Attach one end of the hose to the bleeder screw, with the other end hanging in the glass jar (glass so you can see the color of the fluid as it comes out, so you know when the new stuff starts coming out). Remove master cylinder cover. Wrap rags around master cylinder. Brake fluid will EAT almost any finish and any plastic. Wipe up any spills IMMEDIATELY. Squeeze brake handle SLOWLY (take about 2 seconds to squeeze) - if you squeeze in one swift motion, the fluid will squirt up like a fountain. While the lever is held depressed - the other person opens the bleed screw for about 1 second and then closes. The first person can then release the brake lever (at any speed). START NEW CYCLE - the first person squeezes the brake lever, etc. etc. Do three to four cycles and add more new brake fluid to the master cylinder - if the fluid in the master cylinder EVER gets to the bottom; you have pumped air into the system and you must now keep pumping and bleeding until the bubble come out at the other end (long way). Repeat operation for second front caliper and bleeder (Shorter this time, since the beginning of the Y already has the new fluid in it). Now repeat process for the rear foot brake. REAL PIA - but worth it.

jetmotoracer try this......Get a roll of tape....pump your brake lever 3-4 times and then hold it...while you hold it towards the grip..wrap tape around the lever and leave it like that over nite. Next day undo the tape and give it a try. I do this to my dirt bikes the nite before a ride, and it firms up the lever feel. A buddy of mine told me it leaves the valve open and any air will rise to the top. Makes sense and it always makes my brakes feel better the next day.

Jetmotoracer - Expanding upon MWQ's instructions, except for the REAR FOOT PEDAL brake; just put 2 to 3 red bricks on the pedal and leave overnight. I use the 3 brick trick all the time when I'm working by myself and "Stretchy-man" can't reach far enough.
