No "juice" in it?
by "broke", what do you mean? did the lever come off in your hand?, did you stop having tension?, did the lever actually break in half?

@ woodbucther No its still on but the lever has pressure to stop the bike had ride home on my back brakes. @francoblay haven't open it to check it yet will look at that on monday.

I bet you it´s empty!!! fill it up with Dot 5 and start (slowly) pumping it till no more bubbles come out. :up:
Rear brake you would need to properly bleed it.
make sure you turn the handlebars so the reservoir is sitting level, and do not overfill. if you do, it will leak out under pressure at the lid.
If the lever goes all the way to the Hand Grip with no resistance at all, then the problem is that your front master cylinder took a shit on you. Get a PM Master Cylinder Rebuild kit and replace all internal parts with the replacement parts you get in the kit. If you don't know anything about brakes have it done at a bike shop. Ask the shop to use Dot 5 Brake Fluid when they repair or install the master cylinder kit for you. :2thumbs:
