Have converted to underslung caliper (Gen 4, ABS still in place). Tried the usual ways to bleed the system like filling from caliper to reservoir with syringe, vacuum from reservoir to caliper, also purging ABS-block with GS911. Cant get stable pressure in the system. Any tips???
Bleeding underslung caliper?

take caliper off and hang it above the rear master cylinder (as in at a higher point)for 20 mins,then bleed in that position. you'll have air in the line at the highest point which is hard to get out,this way alllows the air to rise up to the caliper

I was thinking same, mind Lodge something between the pads if your going to try and pedal bleed it or use the GS 911 on it.
Guy on ZX forum had same problem last year.. the bleed nipple was not at the highest part of the caliper it turned out [emoji848]

I was thinking it's a case of getting the caliper bleed nipple as high as possible.
Wedge something in the caliper to stop the piston falling out!
