749, rear brake, excessive pedal travel

Hi all,

just a quickie. MOT due next week, rear brake pedal is travelling down to bodywork and is completely useless.

I know the rear brake only serves to keep the disc shiny, but i guess it'll fail the test as it presents no stopping force whatsoever.

all was well before the dyno run/fuelling setup it had about two weeks ago (not that i'm blaming BSD, the guys there rock), but to be thorough i thought i'd mention it.

so i've followed instructions regarding bleeding brakes, loosened rear nipple, pumped pedal, fluid flowing freely, but still same issue.

what am i missing?

any advice welcomed, got to be something simple??

ta.

magpie.
