back brake
i purchased an 09 250 with about 9k miles for $1700...bike seems to be in good shape BUT...on two seperate occasions the back brake gave out to the point where i could push it all the way down and theres zero resistance and the bike certainly doesnt slow down. the second time this happened, i kindve pushed upward on the break with my foot a few times and this seems to have helped bcuz it returned to normal. im new to riding and dont kno much about bikes....does this sound like a more serious issue...or do the brakes need to be replaced?

I would start by doing a complete flush of fluid and a good bleed job. Also check all linkages from lever to the master and ensure everything is in good working order.
A pic or two would help us help you as well. Hope it is something simple for you though. Good luck!

Were you using the front brake at the same time, or just the rear?
