Hey guys,

I just put the bike back together. I had everything torn apart to do some maintenance. I had the rear brake assembly off. Everything from the reservoir to the caliper. Now when I put it back together, I have no rear brakes at all.
Also, my front brakes work, but are soft. I filled up both reservoirs with fluid.

What do I need to check?

Thanks

It can take a painfully long time to get them bled properly.. Keep working at it.

You most likely inverted the reservoirs and got some air in the lines. As stated bleed them out and be patient.
