You will go through A LOT of fluid before it is right. In my experience.......when I did the line transplant last year, I had to go through one of the BIG bottles of fluid before I found resistance in the lines.
I also followed the sequence in the manual, it works, but you will have to do it a few times. I found tapping on the calipers witht he plastic handle of a screwdriver also helped release tiny air bubbles.
I had to go for a short ride, looking for pothiles and such to work the suspension good. Then return and bleed again. I bleed the nipples that were connected tot he front brake first, then the rear. After that, it was perfect!!
The air works itself up to the reserviors during this initial ride, so I am told. At any rate, it took the better part of 2 hours for me to bleed the Bird by myself. When you think you should be done, you are prolly about half way
Good luck
