Post GTR reverse handle question
So I went play this weekend after the hunt and did some heavy usage on the reverse to see how well it pulled with the reverse bracket that i had built for it. Now when i grab the reverse lever it is very firm at first, but if i pump it, it gets loose and bottoms out and the reverse doesnt pull any more.If i let go of the handle and grab it again, its firm again. Thinkin maybe have air in the system? Not sure if this is common or not. Feel free to chime in, any help is appreciated and loroueville is a long ass ride!!

You may have ruptured the brake line and / or have no fluid left in the reservoir?

Thanks yall, Ill try to bleed it/ check fluid level in the morning and let yall know what it was. I just didnt think to check that due to the motor being fairly new (23 hours)

Do you trailer it with the handle up or down!! Better to keep it down!
