[QUOTE="ropethebike, post: 1250478, member: 73249"] Well............I finally found time to rebuild the master cylinder and now I am worse off than I was. I work on alot of trucks and farm equipment, so I am a pretty fair mechanic, but I don't know very much about working on dirtbikes. The rubber pieces on the plunger shaft that I took out of the MC was detoriated and one was torn a little, so I figured that to be the problem. I installed the new kit and a new brake line while I was at it. Now the lever pulls really, really free and I can only get a dribble of fluid out the bottom of the line. The only thing that I can think that I might have done wrong was I put a little fluid on the rubber pieces prior to re-installing..........thought this would keep the metal from tearing the rubber but perhaps it prevented a good seal?? If I remove the brake line and hold my thumb over the MC line hole it will pressure up and squirt fluid past my thumb it I give it a little space by slightly moving my thumb. I just totally don't understand what could have went wrong............this appears to be a simple task............anyone got any ideas?????? thanks in advance rtb [/QUOTE]
