make sure your bleeder valve is tight. on my 400 its a 8mm. check yours and see if its loose.

Are your sure it's not gas leaking out of the carb overflow tube?

Is there a drop in volume in the master cylinder?

its not gas its brake fluid and when i look at it the only thing wet is the rear caliper.

but if it was your brake fluid,then you would have no pressure eventually in your rear brakes and they wouldnt work:huh

Check your master cylinder and see if the fluid level has dropped, that'll tell you if its really brake fluid, plus like 300exrida said, you're eventually going to lose pressure and breaking. Make sure your overflow hose is not dangling lose and getting gas all over the place. :)

well pimp this out,next time your friends see that,tell him to tell you,stop riding,and go behind the quad and smell it,if it is gas or not,if it is,don't keep on smelling it you will kill your brain cells,lol
