Interceptor 650 brake bleeding

Has anyone bled the rear brake on the Interceptor. I tried to bleed it from the master cylinder but no air came out and the brake pedal still goes to the 'floor' unless I pump it a few times. I think bleeding is different with ABS but I don't want to take it to the dealer if I can fix it myself. The brake works ok but should be better. The front one is perfect.

Check for any play if you rock the back wheel. If there is it is pushing the piston away from the calliper.
(Basic first check.)
