I checked the brake fluid in the reservoir located on the right handgrip, and it was a bit low. Is that the problem or is there something more serious?
Normally I would just go out and buy some brake fluid, but since I don't have the title to the bike (if it still exists), I'm hesitant to invest in it.
Thanks a bunch

Bleed the fluid out of the line...the caliper may have siezed due to a vaccuum bubble that got into the piston cylender. Bleed the line while refilling until there are no additional sputters in your fluid stream. Should do the trick.
