In Silverton CO last year I ran into a pair of WR250F mounted Forest Service rangers (best job ever if you ask me) after checking for my permit ($20 in CO for one year) and spark arrestor we had a friendly conversation, after explaining how the NM ohv program worked and that the funds had been funneled out of their intended purpose he said I'd probably ride dirty there too.
They set it up, title, insurance, registration to get an ohv permit, with the promise that the funds would be used for improving the trails and recreational areas as well as keeping them open, instead they have funneled almost all of it into failing social programs.
I had a similar conversation with a park ranger here in OH
Pulled it out of hibernation in the barn. Put some fresh 93 in her. Then i pulled the horn off because i thought it was rubbing when i turned, actually turned out to be the steering stabilizer. I knew it was blown but it still had a little dampening after 3/4 of a turn. Will ship that out for a rebuild this weekend.
After that i put my new li-ion batt in it, and what a difference. Cranks right up and the battery was a good couple pounds lighter. After that i checked fluids real quick and went for a little rip around town, smile on my face the whole time.
Everything is working great but i dont have any back brakes. I rebuilt the rear master last summer and im wondering if it might be the caliper instead of the master. Any way to test them individually?

dont get sassy
Talk back get smacked
As in you can't get pressure when bleeding? Do they leak at all? -BIG DAN
last time i tried to bleed them it there was really no pressure coming out of the caliper. Guess that means the master right?As in you can't get pressure when bleeding? Do they leak at all? -BIG DAN
Not necessarily.
I have fought with bleeding brakes before and it ended up being air STILL in the system after hours of fiddling with the lever.
Pressure bleeding backwards from the nipple on the caliper has helped sometimes get all the air out.
If you rebuilt the master cylinder correctly and there are no leaks at the caliper, I suspect air hiding in the system . -BIG DAN
I was taught a trick that has worked for me a couple times. Tie your foot pedal down or wrap tape around your lever holding it in or down over night. it will bleed the air out on its own. 
don't ask me how it works but twice now when I couldn't seem to get the air out my lines it has worked.
