Sorry to bother everyone with a bike question, but you all are the best and I figured you could help me.

I was greasing all the zircs (sp) on my KX250 and when I reached the back brake I connected the grease gun to it and filled it up. It was really hard to get it disconnected from the brake, but after I got it disconnected the rear brake stopped working. There is absolutely no pressure to the brake when I pump the brake lever. It worked great before I fiddled with it. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Thanks a bunch for any and all help?

 

There's a zerk on your back brake? Isn't that zerk for bleeding the brake fluid? You may have just pumped grease into your brake fluid.

 

That sure doesn't sound good. How bad did I screw it up? Can I fix it?

 

I beleive you normally have to loosen a nut to bleed the fluid. Without having done that, it's questionable how much grease could have been pushed in there. If any did get pushed in, I could only suggest opening the rear bleed hole, pressurizing the brake line from the handlebar, and pushing that stuff out.

 

Great, I will definitely try that when I get home. I feel like a dumb@ss on this one. Hopefully it isn't too screwed up.

 

Make sure that before you release the brake lever you close the bleeder or you will pull in a bunch of air.
