Rear Brake Master Cylinder


Recommended Posts

Well, when I tried to remove the fill bolt, the side of the reservoir broke off!

Yea , I should have known better. Haven't found anything on Ebay as of yet, still a little to upset to call the local dealer, I'm not even sure that they sell just the reservoir seperately.

Have you tried Buckeye Performance. He sells a lot of yamaha parts and you get a discount because he is a member. buckeyeperformance.com I have ordered from him before and will in the future. Give him a try, his phone is on the website, along with his e-mail address. joe

Thanks Saddle_bag,

I sent him an Email.

 

When re-installing the fill plug it's imperative not to tighten to solidly. Those pot metal reservoirs are known to have that piece broke off when trying to remove. I tried re-attaching mine a couple of different ways (epoxy, JB weld and such) to no avail. It's just to hard to get the porous pot metal clean enough and brake fluid eats everything. I used JB weld to hold it together long enough to find another one on e-bay.

Just like third bike came through for cjacobs..... I have had fellow members come through for me when once I was looking for a headlight and another time for a rear brake rotor....

I'd suggest posting ones need or needs on this forum before going to ebay :hihi:

This doesn't have to happen. Support the flat sided filler spout with a 16mm open wrench and turn against the 16 with a 14mm on the plug's hex head. That way you are neutralizing the stress placed on the thin sides of the pot metal fluid reservoir. Replace the plug with a brass or nylon washer and just snug it down. End of story.
