Tim,

Check the rear wheel cylinders, as these are prone to corrosion and leaks.

If it's on a standard SV set-up, you need to bleed the rear from the right 
hand nipple only, as there is a crossover pipe from the left side. Then each of 
the front callipers, no particular order. Also if it is the SV, check the 
auto-adjusters as it's a pretty hopeless design, and prone to failure. If it's 
faulty, you can adjust these as with the earlier series, through the hole in 
the 
drum, but it's a bit tricky.

Julian.
