Some motorcycle systems don't bleed well in the conventional manner. You may have to get it vacuum bled or try a different procedure.

Did you drain the old fluid out, then replace it? Or did you poor in new fluid and use it to pump the old out? If you drained and refilled, you got air in the master cylinder. Leave the bleeder tight, and instead crack the bango bolt as you squeeze the lever. Tighten the bango bolt and then release the lever, same as you so with the bleeder. Repeat until it builds pressure. If you still don't build pressure after 4-5 tries, go buy a vacuum pump.
