master cylinder repair

GZ250 · 04-16-2013, 10:34 AM

it happened to me, never heard on this forum. the sight glass (plastic) on my master cylinder (holds brake fluid for front disc brake) got fragile and once when I was cleaning, it broke. obviously the fluid leaks. the new costs about $120 so went for a cheap repair. its costs $5 (JB Weld) and a dime or a penny. it works great. if it is not leaking the brake fluid never goes low, now you cannot see so once in a while check manually by removing the cover.

unfortunately the dime and penny are bigger than the hole so they do not go inside and have to be placed on the hole.
