Bench bleed the m/c. Install the lines, then bleed according to sequences in the 700/900 FAQ at the calipers. Fill reservoir, install hose on bleeder at caliper, open bleeder, push pedal (since the m/c is new, you won't have to worry about pedal stroke and seal wear), close bleeder, and let the pedal back gently to refill the m/c without sucking fluid back up the lines. Do this eight or ten times at each caliper and you should be OK. If you have a residual soft caliper, try a power bleed using a power bleeder. Your one big problem will be frozen bleed screws and m/c fittings.
