Default Brakes

I have a 2000 Polaris 325 Magnum. When I was riding I noticed how low my brake fluid was, shortly after my brakes stoped working there was no pressure on that handbrake. So I added the dot 3 brake fluid and I still had not pressure on the handbrake. Could you please help!!


Ok well i fixed the brake issue for a while.

The next day I squeeze the front brake and the pressure was gone and the front break wasnt working. And fliud seem to be dropping. I thought it might be a leak on the line but i don't notice any pools of oikl on the ground. Canyou plz help

Give them a good bleeding. You may have gotten air in the lines. If that doesn't work, come back and let us know.

Sounds like a leak somewhere. How much pad is left on the brakes?

Depending on where it's leaking at, you may not see it on the ground. Check all the lines. Under the plastic, everywhere. If you keep putting it in, and it keeps going down, it's got to be going somewhere.

Could be leaking out one of your calipers. Clean your quad, then get a clean piece of cardboard to park it on. Add fluid and keep pumping brakes. If you don't see anything because it's a slow leak, then leave it parked there for a day or so.
Check the cardboard for evidence.
