Lesson learned about bleeding brakes

I bled out the old fluid on my FS650 about 4 times and still had a spongy lever. Turned out the air bubble was trapped in the high spot above the number plate. Unbolted the master cylinder to get it up higher than the line and it's like a new bike. :)
 
You can also push the cable down so it's lower, take off the cover and spread the pads to push any air on up. I do that every once in a while just as basic maintenance.
