So i was doing some trail riding a few days ago on my 2017 WR250R and was messing around with my buddies hitting some jumps, and of course, I went down. when I picked the bike up and hopped on I realized I did not have a front brake anymore. Noticed the banjo bolt at the master cylinder came loose and brake fluid was leaking out of it. Which made me think I could just tighten it up, bleed the brakes and be good to go. Instead I thought, this is the perfect time to upgrade to a stainless steel line. Which I did and bought the Galfer stainless steel line. Yesterday I installed the line and bled the brakes and I could not get any pressure into the lever. When I open the bleeder valve and pull in the brake lever a solid stream of brake fluid comes out. Theres no air at all in the line but I cant seem to get any pressure. I filled up the reseviour 3 times before giving up. Now I think it might be something else. Maybe with the caliper? But I am no mechanic, I understand basics and can follow directions from videos and such, and this is my first bike. Does anyone have any suggestions on what it could be or have had similar issues? Sorry if this is in the wrong thread this is my first post. Thanks

If that is the case, then when you close the bleeder valve the brake level pressure should push the brake fluid through some other opening, which means that there should be some pool of brake fluid accumulating somewhere.

Did you make sure that the brake line is torqued correctly at both ends (master cylinder and caliper)?
