Cylinder Assembly
NOTE: The master cylinder is a non-serviceable
component; it must be replaced as an assembly.
REMOVING
1. Slide a piece of flexible tubing over one of the wheel
bleeder valves and direct the other end into a con-
tainer. Remove the reservoir cover; then open the
bleeder valve. Allow the brake fluid to drain com-
pletely.
NOTE: Compressing the brake lever several times
will quicken the draining process.

absorb brake fluid. Remove the banjo-fitting bolt
from the master cylinder. Account for two crush
washers and a banjo-fitting bolt.
3. Remove the clamp screws securing the brake hous-
ing to the handlebar, then remove the assembly from
the handlebar.
INSPECTING
NOTE: Whenever a part is worn excessively,
cracked, or damaged in any way, replacement is nec-
essary.
1. Inspect the pin securing the brake lever for wear.
2. Inspect the brake lever for elongation of the pivot
hole.
3. Inspect the reservoir for cracks and leakage.
4. Inspect the banjo-fitting and bolt for cracks and dete-
rioration and the condition of the fittings (threaded
and compression).
INSTALLING
1. Position the brake housing on the handlebar. Secure
with clamp screws; then tighten securely.
2. Using two new crush washers, connect the banjo-fit-
ting to the master cylinder; then secure with the
banjo-fitting bolt. Tighten to 20 ft-lb.
3. Bleed the brake system (see Periodic Maintenance).
