Attached pic is from 2105 ktm85, struggling to get any pressure built up, I take caused by the 2 pistons that are near flush.

Have been using a mityvac pump to bleed and fluid is clear but still no working brake.

Seriously stuck on what to try next.

Try reverse bleeding with a syringe? Once I did it once, I never bled any brake system the regular way again.

Have you bled it at the master cylinder ( either by the bleed screw or banjo bolt )?

The issue is not how to get fluid bled through but more the route that it take which seems to cause the problem with pistons working freely

Bleed it and crack it where the brake line meets the master, then do it where the line meets the caliper, and then do the caliper
