hydraulic brake issues after winter storage

[cjz@vic]

Hi Folks,
I have a '07 KTM 200XCW that's been in storage for the winter. When I went to move it today, I noticed I have no brakes front and back. I haven't started the bike yet.. any ideas what I need to do to get the brakes working again?
Thanks
Colin

It's got guud suspension...therefore you don't need brakes.

Mine is the same on the front. A quick bleed of both should fix them right up.

Bleed the brakes and you will be fine..........next time, put something on the lever to keep the brakes on. This seems to cure the problem for some reason.

Cheers

The same issue was happening with mine when it was parked for a couple of weeks in the summer. Sometimes just squeezing the brakes would solve the issue. One i just loosened the reservoir and closed it again and once it was just bled a little bit. They all worked and well i certainly learned to check my brakes before going for a ride!
