What I have found is the lack of use is the number one killer to the brakes on this equipment. Even when running you aren't using the brakes much if at all when you have a drag behind it. With trying the things below you should get decent time out of the master cylinder and a few seasons for sure on the caliper. Replace the master cylinder, go through the proper bleeding procedure of course, tighten the cap but do not over tighten it to deform the cap. Seen many time where it looks concave on the top due to overtightening. Snug is all. Replace the caliper with a fully loaded caliper and greese the pins really well. It should work fine for the season. During the off season try your hardest to run the cat a while, drive it around once a month and operate everything, including the brakes. This will help keep things moving and not sticking or binding. Also when pressure washing, which most people do, try and not spray near the master cylinder or brake caliper. If you do make sure you don't get water in the master cylinder and drive the cat around getting the brake system warm to dry all the parts. |

Had same problem with our 07 1000. Water was getting into the master cylinder through the vent around the cover bolt. Mounting location problem. Covered with a lose plastic bag to allow venting but keeping the water out. May help, did for me. |

Most the time folks over tightened that center bolt on the master cylinder which dished the cover and created a low spot for water and a path for water to seep by as there wasn't a good seal at that point. Snug was all that was needed. Tighten but not deform the cover. This was solved on the 2005 with the dual caliper setup and the reservoirs mounted in the engine bay on the model 2000's. |
