I like the idea of the ZX-12 unit because it has the adjustable lever and the brake line hookup is towards the front.

Good thing I have the ZX-12 M/C on its way I went out to try pumping up the brake some more and noticed oil come out of the M/C pump area. That would be the problemo!

I had the same problem with a kz 1000 i replaced front master and rebuilt calipers on. My solution was I whent to the hardware store and bought a cheeep pump up sprayer they use for weed and pest chemicals. I took an extra brake line I hade and retrofitted it on the hose and than I hooked the brakeline to the line on the kz I than put fluid in sprayer and pumped it through. Ill try to find it and post a pic of it.
