| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | After approx 15 min of riding, the brake pedal for the rear brake will depress all the way down and there will be no brakes. The front brake lever becomes difficult to squeeze and only applies minimal stopping ability. This has happened the last 3 times i have ridden and almost caused me to run a red light through cross traffic. Once i get the bike home i can pump the brake and it will eventually work properly again or if it does not, it will the next day. |
