Hey guys.

My rear brake stopped working. The brake pedal goes all the way down but theres no resistance. I believe it just needs some brake fluid. I can't find the reservoir to fill with brake fluid. I downloaded the rider manual but it shows a pic of a 750f. Mine is a 78 750k. need some help.

Thanks

Muscle, if this is your 750K


That rear brake is a drum, check the linkage, check the adjustment & at worse case pull the wheel & change the shoes.
You may have lost the adjuster nut (1) or the brake arm (2) may be loose on the hub & slipping on the splines (or stripped).
