Hi kids, new problem. My right hand brake lever pulls completely back to the throttle with no stopping function. Do you guys think I'm low on fluid or just basic bad brakes..? Is there an easy way one guy can fix this..?
thanks

How many miles on the machine?,,,, a winter storage casualty?,,,,, either low fluid level,,,bad pads ,,,a leak of fluid ( i.e. Hose has a split or hole/ crack,,,,,or master cylinder has bad seals,,,or caliper has bad seals,,,,give the machine look over to see if any leaks or wetness can be found anywhere

No leaks or wetness.... if I'm low on fluid, how do I fill it up..? It's a 2011 Jonway YY250T with 10,000 mi.

Cap on top of the hand brake ,,,it's where the lever is,,,,if it's that low you either have worn the pads down pretty far,,,or you may have the abs system that's failed,,,,anyway to get a pic put up so we can see what you have,,,,it may be a failing master cylinder ,,,,,

The caliper I wanted to see if you had the abs system,,,also if you look at the top of the fluid reservoir it will tell you what type of fluid it takes
