While going on a neighborhood run,I lost my rear brake. Well not lost as in missed placed but my brake pedal went instantly to the lever stop. When I am pushing the atv by hand I can stop the quad with the rear brake but above 15 mph its like i am not using any brake. Rechecked the pads at half way. I have about little more than half way between full and empty marks on the brake resevoir of fluid. Should I bleed or did I just blow out my master cylinder?

the dealer can order the rebuild kit and there are several companys that make them .. you can also check several atv parts places online ..just make shure you use some lube when puting it back together or you might tear a seal or O ring.. petrolium jelly works best

Whats the best way to go? Factory or aftermarket? Complete mc or should I rebuild it?

If factory I will get it from Bikebandit.

the 400ex in my post's is a 1999 with a 07 motor and plastic with full flight A-arms and works tripple rate shocks with rezzies and is fan cooled with alot of other extra goodies on it .. i had alot of time and money in it ..it was completly taken apart and powder coated and painted and reassembled in about 3 weeks time i also polished the lower motor mounts and made the stainless steel air scoops on it ..it was alot of fun doing it and i got alot of compliments on it ...they are alot of fun and parts are easy to come by ...

check your master cylinder but also check your brake pad thickness the best place to order your parts from that found out is to buy from motorsport .com.

check your master cylinder and check your brake pads if they worn bad the calipher is maxed out and wont apply the brakes plus your brake rotor can be worn.

make sure your tank not clogged or your brake line hasnt clapsed internaly check your brake pads maybe worn out and your calipher may be fully extended as well as your rotor.

I think what happened was coal mud built up in the rear caliper and i would keep mashing the footbrake because the pedal got so hard. I rarely use front brakes. I removed the rear caliper and cleaned out all the mud. I had plenty of pad left i only have 8 rides on tjem. I guess by overly mashing tje rear i damaged the master cylinder piston seal thigamajig. When I would bleed the brakes i would get full brake again. I completly flushed out the old dot4 fluid. Then after about a quarter mile i would lose the pedal.

After i replaced the m/c i have great pedal. I do have to adjust the brake pedal throw.
