Just got the rebuild kit in the mail today........Thanks Sean!..........Is this a straight foreward job? any tips/tricks I need to know? I'm a fairly competant mechanic, just have never done one of these before...............Thanks...........Tom.

Lately I've noticed when I use the front brake on my 97 it has been catchy when applying, it releases fine and seems to work good otherwise but I don't like the feel, comming from an automotive background I have always just replaced it when it was in question, are these easily rebuilt and if so...

Just like the title says, I'm trying to bleed the clutch after rebuilding the master and slave cylinders on a '94 VMAX. I'm using a syringe and reverse bleeding it and everything. When I pull in the clutch lever in all that is happening is the fluid is getting pumped back into the reservoir...

I have the parts to go to a '93+ front end on my '92, & intend to install a set of FZR1000 4 piston calipers I have lying around. I already bought a new '92 master cylinder, but have not yet installed anything. I bought the new '92 master cyl before I read as many of the FJR master cyl posts as...

Ok......I need to replace my clutch master cylinder and am wondering what are the best replacement/upgrade master cylinders for my MAX. I need to be able to reuse the lines I have so they need to be "plug and play". Any suggestions....PLEASE HELP. Also I'm sick and tired of the sloppy clutch...

A friend of mine has installed a brembo master cylinder on his vmax clutch system. It worked fine untill one day no pressure was on his lever. We did all the things we could do to bleed the system( gravity, syringe) as we were trying to find out what was the problem. We bumped into it. When we...

Anyone have a step by step on taking out and installing the sight glass on the clutch master. I just got my lenses in and wanted to pop out the old. do i just force them out? i know there is a thread i just cant find it anymore. thanks

I am in the process of gathering the bits to do the R1 front brake upgrade on my '85, and I have braided lines, adapter brackets, blue spot calipers and an R1 master cylinder. Today I needed to bleed my clutch (I have a tiny leak somewhere, as this needs doing about twice a year) , and totally...

From another forum: Front Master Cylinder Ratio Chart While attending Vintage Days West, and thoroughly enjoying it, I was reminded that many of the people I had occasion to talk to, lacked an understanding of the importance of master cylinder to wheel cylinder ratios. This critical ratio is...

Hey guys, I need a front brake master cylinder repair kit for my 98 Max. I have tried everywhere and cannot source one for front brake. There are plenty available for the rear cylinder. If it isn't possible to get one what is my cheapest option for replacement or possible upgrade! Michael

Mine are a little scratched up from a screwdriver...

Look we have a really dated master cylinder set up that needs serious updating... I was looking into the vrod masters,,they are sharp,,but not sure if they will fit the lines without some serious adapters...Anyone have any other good ideas for nice looking masters??

I want to chrome my master cylinders. If I chrome the masters I will have to strip them down to the shell. That means removing the fluid level sight windows and installing new ones. The fluid level sight windows on the front of the master cylinders are a press fit so I should be able to...

Does anyone have the capability to fab a replacement clear plexiglass piece for the front of my fairing where the headlight is?? I can't find any replacement parts for this thing. Or any ideas of how I could do it myself would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help.

I know bleeding has been covered a few times and I've read all I can find... I have just replaced both master cylinders, brake & clutch with OEM's and replaced the lines with braided lines. Initially I couldn't get pressure in either lever. I eventually got the clutch working after starting...

a while back I thought I remember reading where some of you . Had info on a replacement lense for the brake and clutch masters. Please let me know where it is. I have never had any luck searching this sight for info. I have no idea why but I do. I will continue to search until I hear back...

I removed the guts from both my clutch and brake masters and stuck the parts as they came out to a piece of tape so they wouldn't get mixed up. I just got the new parts, no picture of course Yay! So I go to the manual for procedures and STOP! My order of parts is NOT the same as the manual. So...

Good morning, folks: There's an electronic piece that screws onto the underside of the clutch master cylinder. The button/rod on it is compressed/ decompressed by the actions of the clutch lever. First of all, what does it do? (I understand it's a safety feature involved in preventing...
