No it is not oliver, think about that.

If the colour matches the logbook it makes it look allot more genuine, which is what you want on a pitbike, if its any colour and says multicolour on logbook its just another thing that doesnt match

Yeah i had a little think about that too. Ive put black down anyhow as i wont change it i doubt.
Bled the rear brake today so last job is the front brake which wouldnt bleed no matter how long i done it for, so im thinking i need a new reservoir, as the caliper is brand new. Surely it cant be the caliper....

Did you have the hose coming off above the calliper then down into a drain bucket? and then just uncrack the nipple, put some fluid in and let it drain through without pulling lever??

It wouldnt move if i did it like that mate, had to do it the old fashion way.
Squeeze brake, un-crack nipple, tighten nipple, release brake and so on.

Done that for five or six refills and nothing in regards to piston movement, the lever just pulled right to the handlebar everytime. With the rear brake i done it the old fashioned way again and boom it pressured up after two refills or so, tightened the cap and its sweet.

You shouldnt pull it right into lever when bleeding it, nor will cracking the nipple work on a front brake, just uncrack the nipple, pip coming up in the air and down into tank, then fill the res and wait for it to drain through, pulling the lever in half way to speed it up

Only my experiance after doing mine

Why shouldnt you pull the lever right in? I bled the back like that mate?

Just seems no matter what the front just wont pressurise up, im never getting that tight spot where the lever wont pull past, its got a shitty top seal aswell so im almost certain i need a new master or just a new seal but ive not found them anywhere.
