hmm well on my 740 i bled from LR, RR, RF, LF, and it all came out properly. i have no idea what your level of expertise is as far as bleeding goes so don't be insulted by my next question: are you bleeding properly? :) when the brake is being pushed down, you open the bleeder valve, but before your friend releases the brake, you tighten the bleeder nipple back. also, you should not be opening it wide. you sohuld be opening only just a bit, enough to let fluid squirt out.
