Motorcycle Repair: 1993 Honda Gold Wing Brake Failure, honda gold wing, brake failure

Question
I own a 1993 Honda Gold Wing SE that has not been driven for about a year.  Now, the brake pedal goes all the way down without any braking action.  The front handlebar brake lever works fine.  Fluid levels are fine and there are not any visible leaks.  I suspect the rear master cylinder is faulty.  Would you agree?  Any suggestions?  According to the shop manual, the rear master cylinder is a bear to replace.  Any comments on that?  Many thanks for your fine support and keep up the good work.

Answer
Hi Robert,

I would agree that the master cylinder is defective.

I suggest following the service manual's guide lines for removal and reinstallation. Send me an email address as requested. I'll return a couple of tech files that may be of assistance. My email addy is: [email protected]
