After having my buggy in the garage for about one month, I decided to get it ready for this weekend. To my surprise, when I stepped on the brake pedal, it just hit bottom. There is no pressure at all and it was working perfectly when I parked it last month. Any clues to what happend? Thanks

The Buggy is an SRG250S, same as Roketa GK-06

Hi Roger-

Is the brake line still attached to the brake pedal?

If so, follow the brake line out to the brakes and look for any cracks, breaks, or disconnects.

Hope this helps,

-Mike

also check the fluid level, and change out the fluid, mostiure could have gotten in it.

interesting
do the brakes still work if so it sounds like what my roketa gk-13 does but it does not go all the way down make sure there are no leaks in the lines and make sure the the fluid is full in the master cylinder

How often should the brake fluid be changed out? Haven't done it in 2 years... and it's kind of an ugly mud-color right now. Not the pretty yellow it used to be!!! Still work fine, master is full, but my buggy is torn down for new piston rings and a good work-over on cables, etc... I figure I might as well change out the brake fluid while I'm at...

Think I should have done it sooner then this?
