It's original and how old?
The distribution block gives a lot of owners greef, buy a new one and be done with the "light stuck on" problem.

To gravity bleed, start with the caliper furthest from the M/C which would be the RR and work forward. The rears have 20 bleeder screws so do both. Just open the bleeder screws, I do one at a time, using a clear plastic hose connected to the bleeder and let them drip in a 2 cup measuring cup. I usually just bleed until the clean fluid appears, but in your case, all your fluid s/b fresh so I'd probably take at least a cup from each bleeder. Naturally, keep your eye on the m/c fluid level as you don't want to empty it or you'll be back to square one. This process can take a couple of hours.
Speaking of the m/c, you said u bench bled it. Be sure u got all the air out in doing so.

I guess I will order a proportional and try that.

First thanks to all you for your responses. But still no luck. I still only have front brakes and the dash brake light on. I have rebleed the M/C . I have tried gravity feed, vaccum and the 2 man. I used nearly 1 1/2 gallon of brake fluid. I have good pressure at all four calipers.
