Bench bleeding is not so necessary and I doubt it killed a new MC. I would
check the condition of your rear brakes. It has been know for slave
cylinders to bleed air into the system. Although you didnt mention if you
had been getting air when you were bleeding the brakes; if you were then you
might have another problem.
