Hey buddy :)

It's low brake fluid.

It was happening to me not so long ago. Turned out that both my rear wheel cylinders had eaten themselves and were leaking brake fluid all over the inside of my rear brakes. I wondered what that wierd stain on my driveway was! :lol:

Could be one of many things to do with the brakes though (ie, as Icy mentioned, low brake pads).

This is a common thing on early ones. They're very sensitive if the fluid is only slightly low. I'd get it checked and topped up anyway either way.
