I would start with checking the fluid at the handle bars. I,m asuming the Recon is front hydralic. If that is ok, then I would try bleeding them. you might have air in your lines. also if it is empty you will still need to bleed the lines after filling the resivor. this is not hard to do but would require 2 people to do. I would sugest one of the two would be someone who has done this before. this to me would best fit why you are seeing movement but not having any actual brakeing. hope this will help you.
