When the ATV's brake fluid becomes low, you should bleed the air from its brake lines. If you don't bleed the air out, you might have to slam the brake pedal to the floor to get it to stop, or it might feel soft and mushy when you press it. Removing the air from the brake lines is a simple job that requires only a few tools.
