Ok, so i pulled the cylinder complete apart, the rubber orings and everything looks brand new as i suspected considering the mileage on the bike is extremely low.
This is a picture of my master cylinder. There are two holes, one for fluid to go out i presume, one for it to come in. The one for the fluid to come in looks really really small, is that normal? I'm sure it is i just want to make sure.
Here's a link to a small pic and a link to the full size.

I took everything apart, blew air into the master cylinder with my air comp, cleaned out the banjo bolt and wala everything is working
I also took one of my wife's sewing needles and poked the small hole to make sure it wasn't plugged
I was able to push the piston back in and i'll test everything for sure tomorrow at metcalf

Glad you got that solved. I wonder what was plugging it? Maybe something when it was built at the factory. More reason to do things like flush brake fluid on a brand new bike; who the hell knows what they put in there or if an artifact or foreign object got in there.
