Title: 2006 cuse brake problems
Post by: lacy.nick on April 14, 2019, 09:21:36 PM

Set out today and had zero rear brakes. Zero resistance on the pedal. Opened the resevior and has plenty of fluid but nothing happens when I pump the pedal. No brake light either when pumping the pedal.

Time for a master cylinder rebuild?

The brake switch is activated by pressure and if the pedal travels down more than normally than the master cylinder is internally bypassing pressure do to seal failure.

How old is the fluid.

Thanks Joel!

Ironhorse it's hard telling. I just bought the bike less than a year ago.
