Pumping Rear brake handle, no action..?

[Integrator]

Hello guys..
Suddenly I Can pump the rear brake handle (left side handle on the DCT) with no or very little effect??
Whats happening ?

I have pulled the Master and the brake piston out to check!
No problems all’s normal, no marks..
Put it all togethers, same same - no pressure!

Tried to pump for air in system - no air (after pumping 100ml. Of fresh brake fluid into and out of system..!!)
NO spill or droppings from the system!

Help - new territorry for me? What to do next..??
Pliiise..

Isn't the rear parking break activated by cable ? It is a separate piston on the rear caliper, totally separate from foot pedal.

The poster has an Integra which has the rear brake on the left handlebar.

The Integra was not sold in the USA. You might get better results posting on the UK 700 forum at Forums - The Honda NC Owners Forum

Bleeding brakes on Integra would be the same as bleeding brakes on other NCs with rear brake pedal. The only difference is that Integra has left hand operated lever instead. Does your model have combined brakes (CBS)? If so, then the process is somewhat more complex than just bleeding the rear brake line. You need to bleed front brake center bleed valve first and then rear brake.

I am wondering if it has something to do with ABS ?

Dreamer! Right!
Yes it is the combined brake system (As I’ve had learned to love a LOT Breaking hard in the middle of a sharp turn and in acceleration IS possible! - Thank you, Thank you Honda )

So you mean I should bleed the brakes in front first..??
Pulling the rear brake lever..?? (Hence the “combi”)
Or the front AND the rear lever at the same time..??

"...And why is’nt “how to bleed theese special brakes” in the owners manual under troubleshooting..."

There are all sorts of reasons to NOT provide brake bleeding information in an Owner's Manual.
