I went for a nice Sunday afternoon ride on my '09 FZ6, 10K miles on the clock.
All was good. About 30 minutes into the ride I grab some front brake but the lever goes down right to the handle bar with no effect. I could pump it up but then it went right down again. I limped home with no front brake. I did feel some something in the front end like the brakes were dragging a bit or something like that.
Checked the pads and they still have some meat. Checked the level and it was high.
What gives? Is the master cylinder at the brake lever gone? Those things are expensive! Is this a common problem?
