UGH! Brake Fluid Blues
Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2016 2:35 pm
In the middle of my last ride on the Stella my front brake handle depressed completely with zero braking. No resistance at all
I got her home and checked the brake fluid level to find that there was zero fluid in the reservoir. Last night I got some DOT4 and topped it off, depressed front brake handle and then saw the fluid pool up under the front tire. At that point was I too frustrated and inexperienced to diagnose further, but obviously I have a leak somewhere.
It's a real bummer because my club's scooter rally kicks off tomorrow
I'll take any advice that you'd be willing to share...
