Rebuild the master cylinder

[flb_78]

Where can one get the parts to rebuild the front master cylinder? Has anyone does this? Just exactly how much of a pain in the ass is it?

Best to Order from yamaha, on line, IPC.

Most any dealer will supply mail order.

 

There are some aftermarket kits, avialable on E-Bay

my front master cylinder was sticky. I'd have to really squeeze the lever and it was jumpy. I pulled out the bleeders and just let the fluid run out. Refilled with Valvoline Synthetic Fluid and let 1/4 quart just run through. Reinstalled the bleeders and left em loose. Filled the master cylinder and let it gravity bleed for about 5 minutes. Tightened the bleeders. Filled the master cylinder again and bled the front brakes. I now have normal operating front brakes and some incredible nose dive.
