New bike, no brakes!!!
Hey guys, hopping over here from the F4i section, and I got me a problem!
I bought the bike in Chicago from a Mercedes dealer (06 600rr, 6100 miles), the front brakes were kind of spongy, but worked OK, the mechanic said they were a little low on fluid so I decided to take it home. Long story short, 1.5 hours into the trip I suddenly have no brakes! I pulled over, checked the fluids, which were both full, but still no brakes. I tried pumping them but it didn't do anything. I can't find any leaks anywhere in the lines, so I'm guessing there must be air in the lines... Is there a good write up on bleeding brakes (pics help)?
BTW- I talked to the dealer and got stiff armed, no warranty, no help, nothing. I had to have my uncle drive almost 2 hrs to pick me and the bike up which really pissed me off. But, I love the bike otherwise, everything else worked fine.
