Quick question = hopefully quick answer.

My rear cylinder is leaking beneath the plastic plug at the to of the cylinder, where the hose connects from the reservoir.
Can I fixi it?

I think it's the problem of not getting brake pressure

Fix it? Yes You Can (allways wanted to say that) that's the line running from the resivoir to the master isn't it? its just a utility line and goes from the spigot at the resivoir to the spigot at the master, if there is enough there you can snip off the broken bit and reapply the line

Thanks Keith, but the line is new. The problem is the actual black plastic part on top of the cylinder. It is leaking from between the plastic and the metal.
Does this screw on? Mine seems to turn a bit.
This rear brake is giving me the poos.
It is the last thing I need to fix to get the bike back on the road.

No it does not screw on. Its a one use only as in when you get it out its shagged, it pushes in and will not come back out without a fight which it loses every time.
I had a master cylinder resleeved a while ago and a new one was used so you can get the part.
Some of the resleeving mobs may be able to supply one, there is a Mazda one that fits the hole but has the wrong hose fitting so be careful what they try to sell you.
That will not be where the brake problem is. Check that the piston is not stuck in the bottom of the bore and that you are just working against the spring or that the little allen head screw isnt jaming the piston and causing the same problem.

Ok i will go out and put me footpeg hanger back on then, i have an idea, as in using teflon tape to bind the join? Its supposed to be a interference fit isn't it? maybe binding it might work, thts if we are talking about the spigot for the resevoir being the culprit, not another piece of the master

Day off tomorrow. Going to bleed, clean, scrub and get that damn thing working. All I want is five minutes of the brake doing its thing so I can get a blue slip.
I took a gamble and got the repair kit instead of the whole brake assembly. Looks like the gamble did not pay off.
As soon as I get a blue slip I can wait the week to get a new master cylinder from the uk.

I have the same leaking rear master cylinder that Rosskko had. What was the fix in the end? I have the same problem and need to sort it. Did he end up getting a new MC from the UK? I have already put a recon kit into the MC, so have already thrown cash at it. Would be a shit to then buy a whole new MC. This fitting is not under pressure so can't see why a DIY fix wouldn't work, it's just a matter of working out what to use. Anyone else fixed this without buying a new MC?

Rear Master Cylinder Repair Chines10See here http://www.motobrick.com/index.php/topic,9364.msg90596.html#msg90596  I've been running a Chinese master cylinder since March and I'm very happy with it easy installation, depending on your model you may have to change the hose. A mate of a mate came round today and I gave him my spare one. At a cost of under $13.00 Au not even worth putting a kit in.
Regards Martin.

I bought one of these recently but haven't played with it yet. Holes are almost right and a small round file would do the job.

Won't fit. As you say, the holes are almost right but the mounting bosses push the master cylinder about 2mm to one side compared to the brake pedal pivot. I spent hours cutting and filing to get the damn thing lined up, only to find that the pushrod operating angle was too steep. I consoled myself with the thought that at least I'd got a spare rear hydraulic reservoir.

If you do have a go Rick, make sure you have a good milenicut or dreadnought file - that ally clogs a second-cut file in less than two seconds flat. I ended up cutting the holes using careful side pressure on a drill bit in my pillar drill. I got very focused on making the master cylinder line up with the brake pedal, so a second pair of eyes could come up with a much better method.

Page 2 look for posts by the Mighty Gryphon.  They document my very successful retrofit of a cheap Chinese master cylinder that as of now has nearly 6.000 miles on it and is still working flawlessly.

The Clever are adept at extricating themselves from situations that the wise would have avoided from the outset - QUOTE from david Hillel in Out of the Earth.

This is a quote from 75cster's signature. Clearly, had I engaged my brain before my fingers I would have realised that Rosskko passed some time back, and in referencing him in an enquiry for assistance, I have dug a huge hole for myself that I'd like to crawl into and die. I am neither clever enough to extricate myself from this, and obviously not wise enough to have avoided the situation in the first place. While I joined the forum after Rosskko's passing, I was aware of this and should have known better.
My sincere apologies to all that knew him personally, and to those that I have offended.

mate if you can get all the brake fluid out of the plug seal area ...perhaps with a bit of modelling clay around the lower part of the plug ...master cylinder body  you could form a loose former  so that something like jb weld could be used to seal it up ?  even that permatex liquid metal stuff ..might be an option ...but as I said hard to get oily substances out of tricky places for the adhesion to fix properly ..

rossco had devils own issues with his rear master cylinders

I remember one time he lost the pump action ,,,  finally found some time later to be the equalizer hole being blocked ....the real issue was actually finding it ..way down inside the bore   with no reference pictures available ...well, that we knew of at the time .



just an idea ..I guess nothing to loose

good luck

Has anyone looked at the link I posted?  I really can't understand all the trouble this is giving people.  My retrofit cost less than $20 total, and I did all the work on a Sunday morning in 2-3 hours.  It's a piece of cake if you start with the right master cylinder, and it's linked in the posted thread.  Mounting holes were perfectly spaced so it was a stright bolt up, and the plunger lined up perfectly with the pedal.

Most of the time on my retrofit was spent modifying the plunger rod to work with the pedal.  Measured the required length from the old one, cut off the new one, and counterbored the end of the new rod to create a dimple for the ball on the pedal to ride in.  It's all there including photos.

I can affirm what Point-Seven-five is saying.  It was a much easier retrofit than I thought it might be and I think it took me longer to bleed the brakes than it did to cut the plunger rod and install everything.  I've got at least 4000 miles on mine and it has performed really well, to the point where I think I might need ABS.  Definitely not the case with the previous OEM (but very worn out) cylinder.

+1 easy cheap mod straight forward mod although I did it slightly differently. I pulled apart the master cylinder and checked and there is nothing wrong with the quality. I have now ordered and received four two for me two for a mate. Last week a mate of a mate came over and I gave him my spare. I have ordered another one a spare as at a cost of under $15.00 Au I wouldn't even bother putting a kit in it. Replacement cups locally can be had for $10.00 a better replacement boot is $4.00.

I happen have the JB Weld handy, so after a thorough bath with isopropyl alcohol I filled the gap between the aluminium body and the black plastic fitting with said JB. There was a gap, about 0.5mm which seems ideal to fill, so once cured and the MC repainted, I will reinstall and see what cooks. I'm confident it will work as the brake fluid is gravity fed and not under any pressure. Time will tell as it usually does...

Hello Point-Seven-five, would be nice if you could post the link directly here, where to buy. As you are describing it fits plug and play right !?
Thanks for your help
