After having the bike stored for the last year (job) I took the bike out and noticed the rear brake pedal is soft or squishy if you would...has anyone encountered this? ....and if so how did you cure it? Will a simple bleed help this....seems kinda odd that this would happen after just sitting. I think I may have read of this somewhere but couldn't locate a post.

Thanks for your help.

A friend of mine had the same problem, able to put the pedal to the floor. Air in the fluid so hopefully a simple bleed will cure it.

Most of the time you need to bleed the system at the front right caliper. It is linked to the rear system. Dain

If I catch you in time its the front "middle" bleeder. NOT NOT the top bleeder. Do both sides of the front caliper.
After you do that check your break fluid level.
