So I have no rear brake now on my 09 V... 35k miles.. Hit the pedal... and I have nothing. Goes all the way to the stop. Pump it... does nothing.
So what have I done before begging for help?
1. Fluid in the reservoir.
2. I replaced the pads and bled, still nothing.
3. I replaced the valve inside the master cylinder but still just have zero pressure in the pedal.

As I am bleeding it I can see the fluid going back into the brakes from the bleeder so I think there is a seal failure somewhere in the system. I have good return pressure on the pedal, so I know the pedal spring is functional. When I replaced the internal valve, the spring inside had good pressure as well.
I'd prefer not to come out of pocket for a whole MC but am at a total loss on what next. BTW, I found nothing on this situation anywhere... I can't be the first to experience this kind of failure, can I?

HELP!!! Please... pleeeeeease

Caliper rebuild? Thankfully it's the VStrom rear brake which is pretty useless anyway.
