So I have a ’13 Sportsman 500. I was changing something and noticed the rear caliper bolt had come loose a little and maybe an ounce of brake fluid dripped out. Well I tightened it up and the next ride I noticed the brakes were a little mushy on the first grab and wouldn’t be good until about the third grad. Well I bled the brakes the best I could and it never got better but now it’s really bad. The brake handle will compress the entire way with nothing until you pump it a few times. I’ve topped off the brake fluid and it has new pads all the way around. Is there something else I should look at or should I just try to to bleed them out again and see if that fixes it.
