Thank you buddy, thats very kind of you..

Important to mention… When the piston is in the rest position, the brake fluid will be balanced via The compensation hole. This compensation hole is very small, clean this compensation hole with a very thin wire of copper, if it would clog… you are guaranteed a dragging caliper, this has already happened to me twice!!! with the Honda CBX 1000.

I have similar Tokico calipers on my ZX6-RR, but four pots not six, just for information when Kawasaki send their master cylinder kits the middle seal is not fitted as helpful Suzuki appear to do. Looking at the the seal you'd think that will never fit on there! well it does and there is a method I found to fit it which I discovered on another video, it is a bit stressful though! Just to let you know there is a bit of a gap in the method for some owners doing a brake rebuild. Great videos by the way, not being a total newbie on bikes after 20 plus years of racing but working on mostly new bikes so you don't really get the age related wear and things usually come apart really easily. Now having a small collection of older bikes (the newest is nearly 20 years old) I have had to learn a lot of new skills and I found your explainations invaluable.

Here's what gets me: See how simple and elegant design that master cylinder is? How did we de-evolve into the rubber hose, mounted on a stick up in the air like a hood ornament master cylinder? Sure for a $110 bucks more you can get the after thought reservoir that plugs in with no hose but even that is not nice, sleek, ununweird like what Del was working on. The one on my new Triumph looks like it was designed by an accountant.

Hi there, Delboy (and the rest of you guys). Now that you mention corrosion... I have an excellent tip in case you haven’t heard about that product. It’s called “Corrosion-X” and is quite inexpensive - they claim it’s used by the US Navy. It’s based on the fact that all metals are a little magnetic, so it binds to them magnetically - making it very durable even at high pressures and temperatures. I’ve used it myself and it’s amazing how effective it is (I tested it on a couple of screws etc in salt water, and the treated ones were like new after that treatment), My brake components haven’t been tested with it yet, but at least the outermost components such as that circlip and outer piston end will benefit from it... and probably the inner parts as well.

I think this vid confirms what is wrong with my FZ6 currently. The lever feels like it catches slightly before it begins to make pressure. Not great pressure either for a braided lines in a race set up. Calipers are completely free from air.

Its cheaper buying the seal and spring kit instead of piston.Piston wont be damaged you just need to replace rubber seals spring and clip.

I would like to know if those same diameter piston able to replace the oem kit? Is it as long as the diameter of piston is the same will do the job? Some piston do have splines and some not, interchangeable?

I think you said that the bike sat under cover for a while, what I find frightening is the fact that it was riding around on our roads that run down before being parked up. The amount of safety maintenance you’ve done so far.

Do you have a video that would help me do the rear brakes on a 2005 Road King, doing a flush and fill, maybe a rebuild

Hi Delboy. Great video. Just did the same job on my 1999 cbr600f. It was fine when I first fitted it but after leaving it a few hours I’m finding the piston isn’t returning back out and sometimes just stays fully in? I then press it a few times and it returns back out and will seem fine. I’ve definitely fitted it in the correct order. I’ve put red grease on the piston seal and clean brake fluid on the seal that attaches to the spring as my manual says to do. Brakes have been bled and no bubbles coming through calliper bleed screws so I’m stumped 🤔 any suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks

I bought complete new handle bar with master cylinder, but I think that something is wrong with cylinder. I perform air bleeding (conventional way and reverse), I don't think that air remain in system, but breaking force is just too weak, brake pads move just small amount, and there is almost no back pressure on lever. What is strange to me is when I press handle bar, there is significant fluid shooting in reservoir, I must put cap on reservoir otherwise I it would just spray all around. Is this normal behavior that fluid shoots out during pressing handle bar?

Im not the best qualified person to answer this one, but from what i understand, swapping from 6 to 4 piston calipers makes little difference as long as the collective pumped volume of fluid behind the pistons is the same or similar... and in most cases, 4 pot calipers have bigger pistons than 6 pots, so it is.. The swap is usually motivated by the 4 pots being less liable to jam up and easier to bleed.. If it was my bike, it'd plumb them up, and go for a careful ride, see how they feel..!
