Ok here is what happened. Last week i took a long ride bolt on my exhaust pipe ratteled off. The pipe smacked my break caliper and drained some brake fluid. I lost rear brakes at that point.

I looked in the window and it was still pretty full. I thought i got air in the line or somthing. I tried bleeding the brakes it drains but slowly and nothing really comes out. I topped it off. I also checked the line it seems to be good no cuts or anything.

What do you think could be causing this issue. I want to ride but no rear brakes is way to risky. Please help.

what did the pipe hit exactly that made fluid leak out?

I'm not for certain i have a heavy duty caliper gaurd. I think it may have hit the banjo bolt itself i replaced it with a new one though.

ok looks like everything checkout ok. all parts are fine. I guess when the pipe hit my break line it caused a hell of alot of air in the line. Took me about 1hr to clear it all. so i now have breaks again. Oh do you know what the best jetting kit for this bike would be 2004 crf250r?
