Is the rear brake supposed to work?

I have a 2012 M1100 Evo that had some problems with squishy brakes. The dealer ended up replacing the rear master as it ended up being defective. Still not totally happy with the front, might have to take it back again.

Front brake has become much worse, took it to the dealer just before the warranty expired and they are now going to replace the front master as well. I'm a bit surprised that both brake masters have failed on a 2 year old bike!

moisture in the fluid will cause squishyness too,, rear need a vacuum or suction bleed to get all the air and crud out
