Anyone had a problem with their rear brakes? Ive bled them through a couple of times and they are still soft, well no brakes at all. I think its the master cylinder. Bike only has about 250 miles on it.

i think more than a few guys on here found that they thought they had bled a gallon of fluid thru the rear caliper and it wound up being trapped air somewhere.
250 miles is hard to believe that the MC failed unless the cap was loose and it ingested mud. i'd probably bleed them until i was tired of bleeding before i spent the frogskins on a master cylinder.
good luck.
Check and make the pads are properly in place..... This may sound stupid, but the end of the pad can come out of place, and every time you hit the brake you are just flexing the brake pad. I am a mechanic, and I bled the brakes for HOURS!!!!!! Felt kinda stupid when I saw the end of inside pad out of place and bending every time the brake was applied. I'd check this before I bought a master cylinder. You can check the master cylinder by gently pinching off the RUBBER brake line, You should have a firm lever.
