08 Everest XP brake bleeding

[Calg_Rider]

Hello all
I took my sled in for the crankshaft recall last year and ever since the brakes are crap. I am sure they did something to get air in the lines as I can see the small bubbles coming up into the reservoir. Since then I have taken it back to the dealer for them to bleed the lines and I have done it myself 2 more times. Each time it seems like the brakes are good but after only a couple of km's riding they get mushy again. I dont know what to do next - i dont see any leaks and my fluid level seems to hold. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

my group has 6 xp 800 summits in it, my brake has been great, we have had a 3 that after the drives were change are soft. if it sits for a bit its soft after you ride its good. we have bled the brakes several times, im going to try and drain it this year and fill it from the bottem up, i bled them several times last year, there is no oil leak, but its soft. anyone else

Thanks for the info. Sorry for not getting back to you sooner - been offline for a while. I was thinking the same thing about filling from the bottom. Seems to me that on my set up the hose and fitting up buy the resevior is a good air trap and i thought pushing some fluid from the bottom might work it free a bit better than a typical bleed.

Try the X model brake line it's steal and should cut down on the spungy feeling
