Had some crash to the right side of the bike..
Wr250r 2016 , front brake worked fine after, then few seconds later it completely stopped working. Lever is soft and reaching to the end of the bar.

The bolt of the brake hosewas loose.. When preasing the lever brake fluid leaked from the bolt of the connection from the reservior to the hose.

I did a complete fluid change and air bleeding.
Topped reservior, open valve, push level, close valve, release lever. Done it around 30 times, re topping the reservior. Lever stayed soft.

Removed caliper, pads arent being pressed at all.

That could be wrong? I looked for leaks or cracks on the hose, nothing.

It's:

Pump brake lever 10 times and hold it in.
Loosen bleed nipple and the lever will travel to the handlebar, but keep pressure on it (don't let the lever back out with the bleed nipple loose).
Tighten bleed nipple.
Let go of brake lever and pump it 10 more times.
Repeat the process.

fixed it. apparently there was a HUGE ammount of air in the system.

now i guess the bolt was abit loose even before the crash so it did pump air inside and the crash got even more air inside
