My suggestion to you is to make sure you are bleeding the brakes properly.The first time I bled my rear brakes I had the same thing as you,I had to press the brake pedal at least 3 times to get any pressure.The second time I bled them I kept bleeding til I got a hard pedal and make sure you tighten everything back up.Give that a shot and see if you get any results.

i agree, if not look at a master cyl rebuild kit, and possible a caliber rebuild kit and new fluid... done it would have no choice but to be fixed then.

If you can pump the brakes up then you have a small air bubble. If nothing, ever, then LOTS of air or the MC is kaput.

Bleed the brakes, properly, if nothing then rebuild or replace. I have a rear brake system for sale. PM me if needed.
