I realise this question has probably been asked over and over I just can't seem to fix the problem!!
I had a big crash about 2 months ago and the bike landed on the right side bending the front brake lever up, snapping the throttle tube but more importantly loosing all pressure on the front brake.
The lever just comes straight into the bars/grip.
The bike has only done about 20 hours.
I have bled the brake time and time again but can't seem to get any pressure
Any ideas before I go insane??

Id also add, check the banjo bold up by the master cylinder. I crashed and my brake line got twisted and it cause it to come lose and I was getting a little bit of air in there.

I had the same problem as you.
I let my GF ride my race bike on the trails (2016 YZ250F) because she was having trouble on the 125 in the deep sand. Well needless to say she smacked a tree and it pinched the stock brake line pouring all the fluid out.
I ordered a streamline steel brake line and took it with me to the track figuring I would just swap it before practice.
I tried EVERYTHING. Even sucking brake fluid into my mouth through a hose on the bleeder trying to get some pressure. Nothing worked.
I got pissed and said screw it. I already paid to practice so I'll just ride a moto with no front brake.
Came back to the pits and it had a little feel in the lever. I was able to bleed it after that and get good feel back.
Riding the bike was enough to shake all that air out for me.
A vacuum bleeder would also work I imagine.
