OK how many of you guys have had this fail:

EMPTIED FRONT BRAKE FLUID DEPOSIT UNTILL GET  NO BRAKES AND OVERFLOWED REAR ONE...

It looks the front deposit was empty and was filling somehow the rear deposit, maybe through pistons itself.

IS second time it happens, with a new Bendix master cilinder that I installed about a year ago. First time was when was new, about a week later I installed.
Venezuelan RT 74 400 4bbl, 727, 8.75 3.23 open. Now stroked with 440 crank and 3.55 SG. Here is the History and how is actually: http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,7603.0/all.html

I haven't had that happen personally, but I could see it happening if one of the piston seals went bad & fluid bled past into the next chamber. Pretty strange.

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Internal bypassing is the cause of the fluid moving from one reservoir to the other, it seems to be the most common type of failure nowadays.

You seem to hear a lot more reports of brand new MC's going bad prematurely in recent years than in the old days.  :shruggy:

Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.
