Default artic cat brake fade

on the 300 I had it was that the cap didnt let in air so i cut just a hair of material out of the groove in the cap and it worked great after that.

i think some air has to be able to get in but not much to work right

You DON'T want air in a hydraulic brake system. Air compresses, brake fluid does not. I talked to my dealer again today. I am dropping it off monday for service.

There was a service bulliten out on drilling a very tiny hole in the top of master cylinder cover to let air in to and out of air side of diaphram,(black metal M/C). Diaphram would squeeze up into bleed slot on side of cover and cause air lock and spongy brakes.

that hole is exactly what i was talking about

the pressure is from the plunger in the bottom of the master cylinder to the brake cylinder not on top of the fluid.
