800 Brakes

Have a 06 800 Polaris. Rear brake does nothing so while trying to bleed it I messed up the front brakes. Did not know they were connected to front brakes as they have their own little reservoir. So now I have no brakes at all and bleeding them has not accomplished anything! Is their an order in which you bleed which brake first? I notice the rear caliper has 2 bleed screws while the front only have one. Any help would be appreciated.

Wouldn't you bleed both at the same time? I don't know.

First of all do you have enough pads? Right bleeder is foot brake/rear only. fill resevior full and bleed it first till all air gone and fluid at proper level. Then fill front resevior full and bleed other brake system. Make sure to keep it full. You probably got air in the system by letting the resevior get too low. Once ya get all the air out you can simply bleed off excess fluid till you get proper level.

Thanks for answering! Pads are fine so I will try bleeding in that order.
