New hawk250 rear brake issue

WWRAFTER · 02-01-2018, 02:31 PM

Have a couple weeks on the bike and have had a problem with the rear brake since assembly. They haven’t held any pressure in the system even after the initial flush. On the first ride, the rear brake faded and would not stop the bike. While bleeding, it continued to push air out, even after several ounces of fluid. I suspect a leak in the slave cylinder (noticed brake fluid during assembly). What is the best way to rule out faulty seals and location. If I can figure this out I can have the part shipped out on warranty.
Thanks, Russ.
