last week i was out riding pretty hard and all of a sudden my brakes when out. once i pumped them they came back but after being on the throttle for a bit they went soft again! :cussing: the whole night i had to pump them to get them to work. i topped the fluid off cause it was a bit low and there a little better but still not like they were before. Theres no aparent leak that i can see i pulled the caliper off and it was fine and so were the lines, hopefully it just has to bled. anyway a quick answer would be alot of help.

thanks SWRules

Sounds like one of two things,
1- you boiled the fluid and it needs to be bled
2-the master cyl has gone south..rebuild/replace
Bleed the system until you have all fresh fluid and see what it does.

*******SAFETY NOTE******* If you don't have the expertise to do it spend a couple of bucks and have your dealer do it. Brakes are too important to gamble with.
