You do realize you need to bleed all 4 wheels even though you only opened the front lines, right??? Start with the wheel farthest from the MC and work your way back.
You can run the risk of ruining the MC if you pump the pedal too far. That's why I like the motive system...no chance of that happening or of the MC reservoir running dry. It is one perfect system and virtually idiot-proof.

nhdoc: I didn't know that I need to bleed the rear brakes also even if I just touch the front ones!
The only thing I might have done wrong is pressing the pedal too hard when I
tried to move the new brake pads close to the disk.
However I'll try and bleed again ...All four...and report back
