Use of Kawasaki ZX14 Masters Brake & Clutch

[satariel666]

Hello again, Vmaxers !!! Just read in a Triumph Forum that these direct mount plug-in reservoirs cannot be used in radial type master cylinders such as the one found in the Kawa ZX14. Any idea why they will not work?

Give us a link.

Check these sites: The first one has very nice pics of the direct mount reservoirs on Nissin masters. Check the "Note" after the Features.

Here's another comment at a Triumph Forum:

By the way, I see that these reservoirs fit Nissin masters as well as Brembo rear masters (I think..not sure). I checked the internet for "Brembo Fluid Reservoir" and saw the plastic reservoir below that seems to be a direct mount and is cheap ($10 or less) but not sure it might fit. I just wonder if it would work in the ZX14 masters. The lower part that mounts directly on the master looks very similar to the other reservoirs that we have discussed and seen around here. Heck, for $10 I would buy it just to see if it works. I know it is not billet aluminum nor anodized nor chromed, but if it works and I can remove the hoses...GREAT. Or are there any direct mount plug-in plastic reservoirs available out there ?

That was the first link. But they changed the content a bit.

By radial they mean some of the masters where the reservoir doesn't come on top horizontally. I saw a pic of those.
I guess you would be ok with those.

The plastic ones wont clip on top for sure.

Makes sense. I didn't realize that Nissin had different types of radial masters. To clarify this, I checked the internet and here's 2 examples. The first one is a Nissin radial brake master with lateral/side reservoir input while the second one is a pic from a 2009 ZX14 Nissin radial brake master with the top reservoir input.

This clears up things now. I should be ok to order any top mounted reservoir. Just wish there would be direct mount plastic reservoirs to keep bike budget expenditures low.

Thanks a lot, Diablotin :biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh:

Nothing better than a good picture

Hmm, I never seen side mounted reservior on these. I wonder from where they came up?

Satariel666. If you question is related to the Nissin radial master (side reservoir inlet), check out: http://www.braketech.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=84&Itemid=101

'03 GSXR750 radial master have side port... Most later GSXR use side port on Nissin radial masters. '05-'06 ZX6R also use side port Nissins. There are some more but im not in the mood to look for them. I'd say that some of them might even be the same part between bike brands...

Another source for reservoir, but not cheap.
