Rear brake cylinder
« on: May 08, 2017, 08:49:18 AM »

I have a 2017 FX with 600 smiles of road use only. My rear brake is a bit soft so I took a closer look. The tube from the reservoir to the cylinder has a plastic 90degree connection that does not seem to be fully inserted into the cylinder. The joint is weeping fluid. Is plastic connection removable/repairable or do I need a new cylinder? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Your bike is under warranty, if that damage was not done by you, you should contact your dealer.

+1.  This is not a pressure connection, so if you need to ride the bike to the dealer etc. you can use a wide tie-wrap around the right-angle fitting and the cylinder body to hold them together for now.  Zero doesn't sell this part separately, so they'll most likely replace the whole unit.
