Hi there,

I’ve kept the bike in storage over winter and today I got around to taking it out and doing some service on it, oil etc.

What I noticed was that the rear brake has gone all soft, its as if there is no brake fluid in the system and at the same time I’ve not found any fluid spills/stains where the bike was parked over winter, and when Ipump the rear brake repeatedly it actually does bite and hold, anyone know what might be going on?

I saw the recall thread after posting… Neither has been done, I am trying to get it done asap but being on Sardegna I am not sure it will be easy.

A temporary fix is to bleed the rear brake yourself if you're comfortable doing that.

Did that simple enough job, although I am still wondering where did all the brake fluid go and how did all that air get in there in the first place.
 
Probably some brake seal
I think that it ( break fluid) went back in the master cylinder.
