[QUOTE="Rolls, post: 37214, member: 28"] I'm :confused: If you mean master [B]cylinder[/B]( where the fluid reservoir is), then good logic. Although, actually, the fluid is pushed through the lines. If you mean the[B] rear [/B]caliper, then bad logic. I think a bad seal in the caliper would show up as leaking fluid. Air in the line would also cause a loss of braking. This has happened to me more than once on different bikes. I don't know how the air entered the system to begin with, but after a bleeding the problem was solved and didn't come back. Try bleeding the line. If no "pfftt" of air or squirt of fluid comes out of the bleeder valve then either the master cylinder is not pumping or there might be a pinched or otherwise blocked line.
