I have no brakes right now so I cleaned up the rear master cylinder on my 200x.It will push fluid off the bike but on the bike nothing with either the bleeder closed or open.I was told to use a vacuum pump but dont have one . What can I do?:confused: :confused: :confused:

Open the bleeder and let it gravity bleed. Try pumping it with the bleeder open till you start getting some fluid out the bleeder.
The seals are probably bad in it and its sucking air or bypassing under load.
You can also put a tight fitting hose on the bleeder with it loosened and stick it in a cup of brake fluid while you pump it, that way it cant suck any air back.
