Before you spend a bunch of money, first get a banjo with a bleeder built in so you can get the bubbles that rise up through the fluid.

What I do when I bleed my brakes is bleed both calipers using a mityvac. Then, I go up to the bleeder on the MC and bleed that with the mityvac. Then, I just crack the bleeder and pull the lever to the bar (bubbles come out). I close the bleeder and let out the lever (fluid drops in the res and I refill). I open the bleeder and pull the lever to the bar, rinse, repeat until you get no more bubbles coming out when you pull the lever with the bleeder cracked.

ALSO, make sure to replace your fluid when it starts turning golden brown. Its only like $8 a bottle for Golden Spectro at the local Hondasuzusakiha dealership. It takes less than half a bottle to fill the front braking system.
