Getting air into the breaks can be lots of reasons. When they removed the air the 1st time, did they tighten the bleeders properly. If that is fine, you might have a small leak somewhere. Then lastly. Do your breaks overheat. One can overheat the breaks and the break fluid actually boils. Might be another reason.

My rear breaks went away as well. I put new pads on an bled the lines and they were working great then i noticed fluid around the caliper. When I step on the break fluid seeps out where the break line connects to the caliper. Both copper washers are on and its tight. Now my breaks are going away again. I'm sure it's because the fluid is low and maybe air in the line. I guess I'll have to take it apart and see why its leaking.

Starky your copper washers are bad. They don't hold fluid after they're removed/loosened. Sometimes you might get lucky and get 2 or 3 times out of them, but the first time that the washer surface doesn't mush well against the banjo bolt or caliper mounting surface there goes your seal, and it will definately leak. The washers are pretty cheap. Replace those, and it should solve the leaking.

stainless braided brake lines dont "balloon" when you step on or squeze the breaks.. they will put all the power directly to the caliper.. and if i say this is one of the least used and best hopup there is.. if you want stopping power.. forget them super discs and amazing pads.. buy a set of braided lines and your stopping will be WAY WAY better... there also cool in you can get them in colors to match the quad.. not just ugly black lines [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
