I just went to street vibes in reno and when I got there I had no rear brakes so I took it to the dealer to get it fixed they said master cylinder was leaking through the seals so they rebuilt it but still no brakes they said it was due to altitude but I talked to other riders from about the same area and they had no problems with the same set uo plus I just put new pads on to can someone please give me an idea what could be wrong should I rebuild the rear caliper or what thanks also I didnt have this problem the year before thanks

Lying bastards,, altitude has nothing to do with it... I once read or heard a THEORY about air in the lines expanding cuz of the lighter atmospheric pressure at altitude,,, WELL, that means it wasn't bled properly to begin with plus the lines are closed, sealed, you know, not open to the atmosphere,, boy,, garbage is in the ears of the beholder...

My gut tells me a good bleeding is in order...
You know how right,?,, you do it, that way you it's done right...
