Front Brake Help Please

kuruku · Post by **kuruku** » Tue Dec 15, 2009 9:17 pm

I was riding in today after a few days downtime due to weather. I was surprised to have no front break whatsoever. The lever goes right to the grip and there is no resistance whatsoever. Other than some cold weather and a little snow there hasn't been anything thats happened to the scoot.

Any ideas why this might have happened? Perhaps a fix or a place to start before I take it into the shop?

Thanks for your help

Have you noticed any fluid leaking out of the brake area? Check and see if the brake fluid level is as it should be.

Thanks for the quick reponse

I don't see any fluid build up or leakage near the brakes. As far as I can tell everything is fine down there. As for checking the level, how do I do that?

Check about a 1/4 way down, Rajron describes how to find the fluid reservoir.

There is another thread I can't find just yet that has a pic.

I imagine I am being redundant, but don't drive it, and it is probably a dealer issue.
