Description of the problem	While coming to a slow stop using both front and rear brakes the foot pedal for the rear brakes felt soft and went down to the floor board. Upon stopping the motorcycle i noticed brake fluid dripping from under the motor. During examination i saw that the rear brake line was leaking at the point where the clutch cable crosses between the motor and the line. The vibration of the motor apparently caused the clutch cable to wear a hole in the rear brake line due to the routing of the two parts.
