So about a month ago a purchased a 14 m8snopro cause i got a wicked deal. The sled is mint and has 8.6 hrs and has 156km, but i have no brake fluid in the brake line and its all over my sled deck. it was not a make or break deal buster as its just a brake line and can be fixed. has anyone ever heard of a brake line blowing up? i'm assuming is a rubber o ring or a bango washer that may have cracked and started to leak? i was going to dive into the next few days and see what is going on but it seems weird that a sled has this low of km's and already no breaks?

Pop side panels off. Look for traces of fluid. Maybe bleeder is loose?

Seals have a tendency to dry out when things aren't used. I have an old arctic cat that was completely empty of brake fluid start of last year, not a trace of where it went. Filled the reservoir to see if I could figure out where it was leaking and couldn't find anything, went the whole winter and the level didn't budge.f

I'd start with the banjo on the bars Just tightening. That up, I've had it loosen before

My bleeder screw fell right out while riding. Just about ran over my kid.

My break line was rubbing on the inside of the secondary clutch and broke seemed to be affected by the telescopic bars going up and down I replaced the line and put an extra zip tie on to keep it away
