    Thumbs down Brake help

    So I can't figure this out maybe, someone can help. I have 2005 gsxr 1000 and every time I don't ride it for a few days, the breaks go out. I have to sit there and pump the lever 100x before there is pressure in the line. Now it's not leaking and the resevoir is always full. Not sure what the problem is, seeing if anyone can help.

    Sounds like air in the lines, check your bleeders so that they're snug and no tears on the lines

    Pump them until they get tight and ziptie the lever to the bar over night. I promise it will work

    75% chance the master cylinder cups are worn/collapsed. Try power bleeding them (vacuum or reverse pressure), but most likely the master will need to be rebuilt.
