I am visiting a friend this weekend up in the mountains and he developed a brake problem with his ATV and I am trying to help him out before I have to leave.
Originally the rear reservoir cap became loose and he lost his brakes, he attempted to refill/bleed the system with no luck, I tried the same but want to make sure everything is doing what it should before I spend my afternoon bleeding some more.
Currently the individual brakes (handle or foot) are pretty much non-functional, however using them both at the same time will give you a hard lever/pedal and will operate the brakes. The rear caliper obviously has two lines to it, and two bleed screws, what I don’t exactly understand is why. If its a single cylinder I can’t understand how you could have a separate system and if they are separate, I don’t understand why they are affecting each other.
I tried to bleed the two bleeder screws, the rear reservoir never changes level through the bleeding process. Is there something I am missing? I cant say I understand how this system works. Thanks for any help!
