Hi!
I was riding around on some wet asphalt, pressed the rear brake. It worked well, but the moment ABS activated, the brake lever slowly (~1 second) went all the way down.
Now when I press the brake, the lever slowly goes down. My first thought was that I bust a brake line and have a slow leak somewhere, but the brake fluid level stays the same no matter how many times I press it.
I'm posting this here for a sanity check and to make sure what I'm thinking is the problem - the master cylinder seal isn't sealing properly and i
EDIT: Found this, is it a good idea?
Also, fun photos for all to rejoice upon my luck.
From what I've read this is non-serviceable and I have to buy a new one.
