Hi gang, 2012 550 trv. Looks like a little plastic nipple broke off on the rear master and leaked all the fluid out. Still have front brakes, but lever goes in a lot more. Rear not working at all. Is that because air is now in the rear system? Will my fronts continue to work independently? Also, do i just need a fitting to connect front to rear and bypass foot pedal cylinder?
My main concern is the fronts staying working for the weekend,,i'm camping about 3 hrs from a dealer. Thanks, Frank
That plastic nipple was the rubber cover over your bleeder screw I would think. Yes you will have no brakes till its repaired. It is not safe to drive it like that.
Well Merv,,,2 years later and I havent fixed it yet. Still riding it without rear brake. I think I will splitter block and just bypass the rear foot brake for now instead of buying a new master cylinder. I guess I procrastinate sometimes,,,,,
