    Front Master Cylinder Replacement

    Has anyone tried one of these? Just curious before I go trying to rebuild mine and trying to source parts for it. I came across this and thought if this actually worked well, this would be a better alternative.

    I bought one and it had a few issues. Went with a newer Kawaski one (KLR650 I believe) and it's alot better. Better feel, modulation etc.
    Edit, I now remember the worst problem with it. The piston would cock in the bore and stick a few times. I would have to back the adjusting screw off, mess around and unstick it then continue on. Avoid.

      Bore size says 14mm. You need 5/8" or 16mm for a dual disk front bike, but 14mm is good for a single.

      To measure is to know.

        For a dual brake model I would buy an EX650 Master cylinder. The older ones that go with the Tokico calipers have a mirror mount, the new ones that go with the Nissen Calipers for that bike do not.
        They work great.
        I have a couple of different master cylinders on my shelf that I'd likely be prepared to let go cheap. If you're interested let me know, I can send you a picture or two.
