Hello, I have a Honda Shadow. Just installed a new master Clyinder I bought on Ebay. I load it up with fluid after installing and attempt to pump up brakes to bleed and it won't pump up tight. Plenty of fluid in resivior. I have never bled motorcycle front brakes... is there a trick or something I am doing wrong ? Fluid is not leaking out anywhere ! HELP !

It's not unusual for the fluid to not flow properly in a new master cylinder. The gravity feed sometimes needs an assist to get started that first time. The simplest way to get it started is to apply some suction at the bleeder valve. A fairly cheap tool that simplifies brake fluid changes is the MightyVac, although just about anything that creates suction will do the job.
regards,
Joe
