Sounds like you got some air in the line. You have to bleed the some of the new hydrolic fluid through the bleeder. It takes quite a few pumps if you''re pumping the lever. With fluid in the resevior, you can also keep the lever engage with a clamp/rubber bands for a few hours the let air bubble up. Then try bleeding again until pressure returns.

remove the master cover then try removing the slave cylinder and pushing the piston right in.Then refit it and then 1/4 pump it till it loads up. If that dont work your master cylinder might need a kit. One more thing put your bars on right lock for maxamim fluid and dont fit the master cylinder cover till you have clutch. Put wet rag under cylinder for fluid spills
