Front Master Cylinder problem...


Recommended Posts

I had a crash while i was out riding today, and fell... and landed on my brake lever.... ?

Now the brakes are really grabby, and you can pull the lever all the way in till it hits some sort of stop on the inside. (in the cylinder)

(you can pull it in a lot further than you used to be able to.)

I think i blew out something in there, but im not sure what... ?

so can i just fix it by replacing the guts of the cylinder??? ?

Thanks, Michael

More than likely the master cylinder rebuild kit would take care of it, as long as you don't see fluid leaking anywhere. If your mater cylinder was not completely topped off it's also possible that you got some air in the line when the bike fell. You might start off with bleeding the brakes and go from there.
