Default Major '04 Sportsman 400 Brake Problems. Please Help

Last weekend I was wheeling when I lost all brakes. I got home Sunday, tore it apart, only to find out that I broke the brake pad on the piston side of the caliper. I installed new pads, and went to bleed the brakes. I cannot get any line pressure. I think my caliper is messed up in the rear because when I pump the brake at the handle bar, there is fluid coming out of the filler for the foot brake. Please help. Thanks ahead of time.

I don't think I can help you with the brake deal.......but I'm really interested on how you manage to get your Sportsman 400 to do wheelies.

Get all your weight in the back and pop that sht.
I do it on accident sometimes when coming out of a ditch also.

I just stand on the back rack and when the timing is right pull back real hard and i have had it so far back the trailer hitch has scraped and this is in high, well i helps when you weigh 280 like me[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I could be wrong but I think Murph meant riding when he said "wheeling"

Yes you can pull a wheelie with a 400. I have a hypershift clutch kit in mine with a team roller clutch. Gives it a little more punch! Does anyone have any suggesions about my brakes?
