My dirt bike has rear hydraulic disk breaks. The other day they worked fine and when i went to ride today they didn't work. Any ideas how to fix??

Bleed them.
Maybe the master cylinder ran out of brake fluid (when the brake pads ware down, the brake fluid in the master cylinder goes into the calliper to take up the space).
Add brake fluid to the master cylinder, to the top line.
Then bleed the brakes.

Hydraulics are pretty simple, do a visual inspection for leaks, make sure the master cylinder is full, then bleed the system.

No they don't wreck down greater many times and that they don't require greater upkeep than a 4 stroke race bike, they require quite much less actual. the upkeep between a 2 and four stroke race bike is same different than you may desire to verify/alter valves on a 4 stroke. Like Proc talked approximately, a 2 stroke engine will positioned on quicker than a 4 stroke, yet the two stroke is a pair of million/2 as costly to rebuild so it evens out. i don't likely evaluate familiar positioned on as "breaking down" although. Any race bike is going to require greater upkeep and positioned on greater at as quickly as than a path bike. in certainty all modern path motorcycles are 4 strokes the style of great style of folk nevertheless attempt to evaluate 2 stroke race motorcycles to 4 stroke path motorcycles, in trouble-free terms because of the fact they at the instant are not suggested approximately 4 stroke race motorcycles. that is genuine trouble-free, inner components on an engine positioned on simply by friction. A race bike, 2 or 4 stroke, will turn greater RPM's than a path bike. greater RPM's skill greater friction, greater friction skill greater warmth, greater warmth skill greater positioned on and tear.

hmm...if you're asking this question its probably not a good idea for you to do them...
an easy solution could be checking your fluid levels...and top up the resevoir if it needs it...
an easy way to firm up fluid is to leave a bungee on the lever over night...works a treat
