Important to mention… When the piston is in the rest position, the brake fluid will be balanced via The compensation hole. This compensation hole is very small, clean this compensation hole with a very thin wire of copper, if it would clog… you are guaranteed a dragging caliper, this has already happened to me twice!!! with the Honda CBX 1000. Stay Safe.
Thanks for the great video. Nice to know it is still helping all us DIY mechanics. Do you find that the master cylinder fails far more often than the brake caliper? I have a weak front brake (2010 Heritage classic) and figure it must be either the master or the caliper. thank you id you have time to reply to me question,
A lot of unnecessary work going on there. Just loosen the throttle screws and leave the switch housing and throttle alone. Put the cardboard in the lever before removing the master cyl. Don't wash the master cyl. In the parts washer.....wipe it out with clean brake fluid and blow it clean with air after honing....if honing is necessary. AND...don't use the seat for a tool caddy. Unless it's you bike.
There's no need to remove the throttle cable to the Pharaohs and the hand grips you can remove the master cylinder without removing any of that other stuff waste of time
Glad this isn't my bike . I'm sure the corrosive fluid is probably all over front of bike and don't see see why he didn't remove fluid from MC first. This is why I do my own work. To many guys that are careless when working on someone else's expensive bike
I was thinking the exact same thing. I am also not impressed with how well, or not so well, he protected the customer's bike with protective pads and and towels.
Exactly Tom. The last thing you want is to accidently drop a screw driver or any tool onto your tank or front mudguard. We also know what brake fluid does to paintwork. He wouldn't get my bike to work on.
what tha hell bro, when u pushed the pin in, you ruined the second seal on the shaft. , the outer seal was exposed, that belongs in the tube, not on top of the piston!.... now u need to replace the whole kit. AGAIN, free of charge.
