Catastrophic brake failure cause/cure.

Well has anyone found a better cheaper replacement for the faulty banjo gaskets? If not it looks like we're prisoners to Polaris....now somewhere I read they are using a 2000 jeep clock spring. Where are they sourcing the banjo gaskets and there surely has to be another car company using the same size banjo gaskets...
I'd try the copper banjos @MISTERZ06 showed us in post 109 if i was worried about the factory banjos.

I believe this would fall under " failure to brake"?

I can't believe this damn thread has made it to 8 pages..... and now I helped it get farther

It might be failure to get your a## out of the way. Not enough info

This resembles what they have deemed a "black hole". It devours every thing. Matters not the make up, content, purpose, or mass. And leaves nothing but a void.
@Bigdog, try doing your own research. The folks on this forum give you answers and you distort, dilute, blow them off, or change the question. Would be a pleasant change if you brought something to the table rather than dine from everyone's plate.
So, answers to your questions in no particular order...
The only thing you can open in the hydraulic brake system that doesn't require the system to be bled is the service cap. If you open a line, valve, sensor, plug and expose fluid, it requires a bleed.
The pressure switches measure the pressure in the brake system between front and rear brake. An imbalance caused by air in either system will cause a light trip. I suspect a lot of sensors have been replaced because of inadequate or improper bleeding.
That mysterious black material that you refer to in the helicopter hydraulic system... water contamination. Otherwise known as algae... this can also happen in brake fluid, jet fuel, oil...
DOT 4 brake fluid absorbs moisture from the atmosphere faster than any DOT brake fluid before it. The higher the water content the lower the boiling point becomes.

You are all cracking me up!! Dear heaven, please put us out of our misery!

I can explain it to you, but I can't make you understand it.

I'll have to get rid of my disc brakes on my helo and go to "air" brakes

thanks, the dealer bled mine and the light is still on....said they are waiting for new sensors....
We, it has been reported have the mysterious black stuff clogging some of our sensors.
Has Polaris recommended changing the brake fluid more often because of this? And does it eliminate the light problem .. I don't remember ever completely changing brake fluid ....ever in any vehicle.
