I love my Vulcan 900 and have had virtually no problems since owning. I have however had a pesky rear brake issue. Riding one day I noticed the rear brake pedal would go all the way down; no rear brake. I noticed no leaks in the garage or on the bike. I bled the rear brake and pressure returned. I tightened everything down and thought everything was good. Within days same problem and again no leaks. I figured air had to be getting in somehow so figured I'd rebuild the rear master cylinder. I ordered a kit (darkhorsemotorcycleparts.com $20) and spent 30 minutes rebuilding and bleeding system. After two weeks it would appear the problem is resolved. I post this as an FYI as I didn't see this problem specifically in the forum and should it be encountered it's a cheap and quick fix.

yep, the master cylinder would have been my guess. glad you found it and got it fixed.

Thanks! Never ran into that problem before on any bike but pleased it was an inexpensive fix!
