I think I have learned something and now, what to do and why.
I picked up and 05 trail boss and just finished putting new pads on it. I was told when i bought it the back one didn’t work, whatever… I put new pads on all 4 and figured I’d end up needing a new rear master cylinder. I topped off the front master and gave a pump of the brake lever and fluid started dumping out the rear caliper. My first reaction was WTF did the previous owner do, then I remembered an old Suzuki a friend of mine had a while back a front master and a separate rear but the rear was a dual piston which engaged on hard braking. Is the 05 Trail Boss the same or did someone monkey around with this quads setup? With a front master reservoir and a rear under the seat I thought they were completely isolated brake systems.
