I have a '87 900T convert. It has just 34,000 miles (yes original miles). I just got it last September, but I know the hoses to the calipers have been replaced 5-8 years ago. In Feb. I had the front calipers rebuilt and new pads put on. A few weeks ago I was driving in the city, stop and go, with the temp in the 80's. The brake peddle was soft and went to the floor. Pumping helped a little. The brakes did apply and I was going so slowly that stopping was not a problem. I thought that maybe the fluid was contaminated with moisture so last weekend I replaced the fluid and bled the system. A few days ago in stop and go traffic on a warm day the same thing happened. Master cyl going? Anyone with any ideas as to the problem? This is only happening when the system gets hot.
