I ride a 990 Adventure s with just over 85 000km. The back brake pads are still more than 1/2 left and yet when braking hard with the 3rd of 4th hard braking no brakes, nothing, nada.
Similar when you have ridden a long way with boot toe accidently on the pedal and the brakes heated up.
No leaks of brake fluid so I suspect air in the system - not very knowledgeable about these things but I try to learn. I haven't fiddled with the brakes except when checking to see if fluid level ok. The little black rubber jobbie inside the brake dingetjie/metal holder was not covered with fluid but the little glass window on the side showed there is enough fluid in. Could this be the problem?

Thanks in advance for your input.
