I bought this xplorer for cheap and trying to fix it up a bit. This thing came with a missing front caliper and associated brake line which I replaced. Problem now is with that stuff replaced and the whole system checked with new pads and new fluid I'm getting no pressure at the handle at all and no brakeing at any caliper. I've bleed all 3 multiple times correctly and even tried a vaccume pump which didnt help. Im at a total loss as to what is wrong, Could it be the master cylinder is bad? I even tried to shoot fluid up the lines via the bleed screws to make sure there full. Please help if you know any tricks. Thanks

 

try bench bleeding the mastercylinder,put a fitting on the end with a tube,put the tube into the master submerged in the fluid, pump the handle slowly till all the bubbles are gone,plug the line,see if you have pressure,be careful, wear glasses.if you have press.hook back up, bleed again furthest caliper first........

 

Thanks for the tip, This is my first brake job on an atv. Only question is what to use for a fitting on the master cylinder if I don't have a bench bleed kit? I'm going today to replace the master cylinder anyway just for peice if mind.
