| Description of the problem | I was riding my 2006 hd vrscr when i turned a corner at an intersection in a town. I attempted to slow down using my rear brake when the pedal went completely down against its hard stop. No braking occurred. It happened with about 15,000 miles on the bike. It only happened this one time. I was able to stop with the front brake alone. I inspected the rear brake master cylinder and found the rear brake light switch leaking brake fluid. I replaced the switch and the brakes again work. The failed part is not available. |
