friesman Posted May 30, 2011 Share #3 Posted May 30, 2011 I dont know what its called, but you should be able to look it up here using the parts diagrams and order it too, their prices are usually pretty good. http://www.partshark.com/custompage.asp?pg=yamahaparts Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at the one I removed from my bike. If there is fluid under the rubber cap, it needs replaced. I don't know of a rebuild kit for these. Might check with MiCarl or Skydoc17. One of them will know if it can be rebuilt. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted May 31, 2011 Share #6 Posted May 31, 2011 Yes, it is a metering valve. Not much in there other than a precision size oriface to regulate flow rate of the brake fluid to the front brake. Not to be confused with the proportioning valve at the rear cylinder which is a time delay from when you apply the rear brake until fluid starts to flow to the front brake...
