I recently was given a 2003 Polaris PTV 500, pretty much the same as the sportsman. The pads on the rear brakes were shot so i dissembled the rear brake and installed new pads. I never touched the front ones.The brakes now wont work. There is no resistance when i squeeze the brake lever. Whats wrong and more importantly how do I fix this? Thanks

 

Pump up and bleed pedal brake first,may take several times keep small resevoir filled,then open front master cylinder cover,open front and rear caliper bleed screws,keep brake fluid filled at all times,should bleed fluid and air out of lines. Sometimes small pedal brake master cylinder problem area if wont build up pressure. If worked before,probably just need to be bled.
