well riding home i went to use my rear brakes and the went all the way down and didnt work. so when i got home took the master cylinder off and look at it put it back on and it works fine nowthat is just weird what do you all
 
If there is no evidence of a fluid leak i would suspect that the seals in the master cylinder had collapsed if they have done it once they will do it again so i would rebuild the master cylinder using a rebuild kit which will replace the seals and piston

I agree. Also, be sure you are putting the correct brake fluid in there.

Enjoy,

+1 on the rebuild, I'd think there would some evidence of leakage.
