What I used to do was once the brake line was full. Take the reservoir cap off also the rubber diaphragm that sits on top..
Whilst literally just flicking the front brake lever, rather than pumping it through its whole range of motion, smack th brake line rapidly with a spanner from bottom to top.
When you try to just bleed the fluid through the bottom bleeder when there is still heaps of air...it just doesn't work.
Flicking the lever whilst smacking the brake line tickles the air out through the master cylinder.
However shitty spongy front brakes were a fact of life on those old kx's. Only real cure is a Honda master cylinder and braided brake line

I dunno where the hell they all went????
Once upon a time you could pick up a copy of the Melbourne trading post and see literally hundreds of old dirt bikes.
I have a theory that since the trading post stopped their print edition and switched to online.. Maybe they are technophobes, maybe they don't have computers.but people with fifteen to thirty year old dirt bike don't seem to advertise them for sale anymore. I can't find anything on the online sites like gumtree or bikesales of that era, unless it has already been done up as a viper class bike...not unusual to have to pay $5 to 7 k for a thirty year old bike! Actually just looked at an 85 model kx125 ..it was $8,500!!
There must be thousands of old motocross bikes out there somewhere gathering dust and rust, but how to find them?
Do you know of any other face book pages I might try?
I found my 99 KX on a Perth Facebook group and my 91 YZ by putting a wanted ad on Gumtree
I wish to Christ that I'd just kept some of my old race bikes from back in the day...used to get one or even two new ones a year through the 80's and 90's....always really looked after them , but could never sell a one year old bike for even half what I paid for it....used mx bikes were a dime a dozen and super hard o sell.
Now if you have a mid 80' s mx bike of any kind , even a wreck , you hung a couple of grand on it and some dill buys it.
Was just looking at an 81 model cr 450... Asking price was $5.5k
One of the worst bikes of all time....shoulda rang the guy and told him he's dreaming!
Wish like anything I'd kept this bike, 81 cr 125 , first of the water cooled jobs...what a year that was with all the water cooled single shock linkage suspension bikes released that year...
I was 16 ....what an awesome time to be sixteen!
In reality the Suzuki was in another league , the suspension was light years better..
But I was an apprentice bike mechanic at a Honda dealer....
My brother had one just like it, he also had the 1980 twin shock model....Jesus don't I wish I had that today as well
Side note that doesn't help at all, there's a 98 kx250 in bits on Perth Gumtree for $500 Ono
