I have tried both front calipers and both have no fluid coming out! What the hell has happened any clues?
Never seen this on any bike I have owned.
Yours is a 2017 ABS model I recall.
When you started bleeding one side, got a little fluid out before it went solid, and then closed the bleeder. At this point, was the lever still solid?
Then when you went to the other side, did the lever move? Did any fluid come out?
Did the lever go in at any point after the initial lever lockup on the first side?

Hi pekingduck, Yeah it's ABS but not the combined ABS like previous models. Yup a small amount of fluid came out(left caliper) then the lever was rock hard. Closed the bleeder lever was the same, went to the other side, and no fluid either.
Yes, the lever did not budge after the first lock-up. Looked in the service manual and it points to a potentially seized caliper. well it was fine before I bleed it
