I have a 2002 polaris 550 f/c
i have been doing some repairs on various elements of it and one part of such was a bearing replacment and a new drive shaft. i had to take the brake caliper off to get at the chain case and so on. when i reassembled the brake and the lever went from perfectly fine to stiff as can be. i get full braking power but the lever only moves 1/4th of an inch if that. i was going to bleed and replace and see how it is after but i was wondering could it mean the master is busted? with the bleed valve open the handle works fine. i have full range of motion on the puck and the brakes have 3/8th of an inch of life in them. the brake fluid appeared to be murky but before any work was done the brake seemed to do fine. whats the deal?
