Front brake puzzle???

[kelpie_67]

So when I parked the bike for the winter all was well and now come the (almost) spring when I grab the front anchor I get a big handful of nothin'. Any suggestions anyone - I'm going to bleed them this weekend but could it be anything else.

Once again my thanks in advance

Strange normally the other way round and seized up, bleed it through and let us know, obviously check for leaks by giving the lever the big one once bled.

There was an old trick I used to use with difficult Hondas and that was to tie the brake lever to the bars overnight, it let the air out.
