Brake master - wrong one?

(1/2) > >>

mickandsej:
Have I got the wrong master cylinder? Try as a might I cannot get it bled onto the new caliper. Still pulls back onto the grip when squeezed hard. According to the replacement I’ve found at Legend MCs the 4 master is scalloped to fit over the bar. I had to use the straight hose end to get the pipe clearance and I can’t fit the bars at the dot to set them straight, had to tilt them back. Also my clocks may have been moved to fit the ign switch which I’ve now moved..

That's the correct one for a 500 K0 - K1 and the same as mine which works fine. Picture from CMSNL, part number 45500-341-671.

That is the correct M/C. Have you fitted a new service kit ? Is the return hole clear ?

I can’t see any hydraulic issues, it’s not fully draining unless I purge it (10 or so fast pulls with nipple shut, then hold, release, drain, tighten).
Got a new bleeder coming tomorrow I’ll have another go!

Interesting to try to purge from bleed nipple back up to master cylinder! I haven’t tried this method but no reason why it doesn’t work and saves on any bleeding, big syringe required! NURSE!!!
