Ybr 125 brakes

Need some advice please guys/girls, just replaced the pads and disc on my 2007 ybr.
Had the calliper seals replaced at the same time, bled the brakes, left it over night to all settle, and bled again. No more air comes out yet I cant get the lever to firm up, still feels really spongy. Anyone else had this problem? any suggestions?

Thanks

Sometimes air can get trapped in awkward places Thumbs Down

Try tapping the hose,removing the caliper and lifting it higher so that any air is dislodged and as a last resort,remove the master cylinder and see if any air bubbles emerge as you pull the lever in a small amount at a time.

Having a bleed nipple at the master cylinder is worthwhile,like on many later bikes like the GSXR and CBRs (amongst other bikes)
