Slippery - maybe I didn't read through all the posts closely enough. I don't know what year your bike is - but I imagine it's older than '97.

You'll probably want to consider replacing all the rubber brake lines unless you know that has been done recently. They deteriorate on the inside, bits can get loose and cause blockage.

Yes maybe, the brakes worked fine before hand. So perhaps something got dislodged and caused a blockage

Razz Brakes now working.

Don't know what happened between now and last night, but I suspect elves/ leprechauns entered my garage and fixed it. yeeha

There must have been air somewhere that vented up to the master overnight. Just goes to show how one should leave something for a while and come back to it later. Thanks for all the support
