VASELINE..... Gonna pin this at the top before anyone gets in too much of a flap over Vaseline... Have no fear of Vaseline and o-rings, boots or gators. O-rings are made out of many different materials. I would suggest that those o-rings which are made to work in the automotive realm are made to be resistant to things such as oil, gasoline, and other petroleum products. This would include Vaseline. While Vaseline and other petroleum products may degrade "real rubber" (actually made from the rubber tree), current o-rings technology does not use natural rubber. There are rubber seals in your Petrol Tap.. Filler Cap.. and a rubber hose delivers the Gasoline to your Carburetor.. ..which also has a Rubber Diaphragm, and a Plastic air box...... ...AND NONE OF IT DISSOLVES...!

One other thing I would say is be wary about using brake fluid for lubricating the cylinder. I did it for a car slave cylinder I was working on once and I had to redo it again a year later. There's proper grease for it. Probably less of an issue due to location and mounting here but worth considering.

Very 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. Stay Safe.

Thank you very much. It did look like a fairly easy job, or maybe because you make most things look easy. :) Looking at it though, I'm dreading what I will find when I open up mine. 20 years old and I've ridden it all winter. Ahwell. Also, thank you for explaining about using Vaseline instead of red grease. It's been a few years since I played around with petroleum jelly. :) Btw, any tips how to keep that stupid spring for the brake light working smoothly, along with the brake foot lever pivot? The spring is covered by the bracket near the foot peg, it gunks up, it's really hard to reach with fingers to give it a clean and a grease and I've actually lost my back brakes for a day on my old bike because the brake lever wasn't moving anymore because of all the grit and gunk. I hope all is well with you and Penny. Best wishes to you both and hoping for some sunshine for your weekend. :).

Hey, so I rebuilt my rear master on my bandit gsf600s watching your video and using an All Balls Racing kit. The issue I am having is the caliper pistons will push out, clamp onto the disk and then refuse to retract like normal. The brake pedal height is adjusted per the FSM but in order to reach that height I had to adjust the nuts to the end of the threaded rod. I have taken apart the caliper and the master twice now to check my work and everything appears to be correct. The brake line is also new, made by Galfer USA. Any ideas?

I learnt the hard way last week that petroleum based products don’t like brake seal’s .

Hey. Great video.. I have a Ninja and the piston in the master cylinder does not retract back. I've tried changing the brake fluid but nothing happens.

The rear wheel on my R6 won’t spin more than half a turn after the rear brake is applied following a rear wheel fitting or brake pad clean up etc suggesting the caliper piston doesn’t retract.

Do the caliper first, the seals are cheap, it's usually that, that's where all the grime and dust is that will jam it up... and if it still jams up.. then have a look at the master..

Great video, very helpful info!! I have a Suzuki GSF250 and it has pretty much the same rear brake master. It has been sitting for a while and the circlip is completely rusted + sort of welded onto the ram plate (?) it's resting on. The circlip ears were horribly weak and broke off immediately like old flaky rust, because the seals on the plunger had leaked and allowed brake fluid to seep down soaking everything. Please help! Any suggestions on getting the circlip/snap ring off without damaging the cylinder body would be hugely appreciated! We don't have replacement parts *at all* for Japanese Suzuki motorcycles where I live and had to even get the rebuild kit shipped from China. PS - I believe that plunger is a 12.7 mm / 0.5" by the look of it?

@Moonfleet41

3 жыл бұрын

Hi there Nisal, if the circlip ears have broken off, then there is no easy fix... the best you can do is try to lever out the remains with a thin tiny screwdriver, it won't be easy, but a little penetrating fluid and warm it up and you may make it move... but if all else fails, perhaps you could get a second hand master cylinder from another bike? Do you have people selling second hand spares there? That would be the only option if it truly won't come out... it may help if you push down the plunger to hold the weight off the circlip and a little patience, you may prise it out...

Guess it's just a matter of luck to see if I can get this off then; heating it up didn't occur to me but will definitely try that, thanks again! The circlip is literally sort of welded together with the lower metal plate it sits on with rust itself and I was afraid to clamp it down in a vice and try pulling out, in case the groove got damaged. Any progress I've made so far has been with a small flathead screwdriver as you suggested but there's very little space to work with, making it all the more difficult. Yes we do have lots of parts for JP Honda bikes but only for those, no Suzuki, Yamaha and literally zero Kawasaki parts. I've a broken indicator (shared with Yamaha Zeal 250 if I'm not mistaken) which I've been hunting for months, no option to bring down either due to the pandemic situation. I had a look at some Honda master cylinders (need to buy the whole thing, with reservoir and all) but all of them are differently sized, shapes and lengths, especially the screw holes being out of line with the GSF 250 holder.

But we had to visit a machine shop to get some parts for a friend and I took the cylinder just in case and asked them to somehow disassemble it whichever way possible, that I didn't really mind even if the whole thing breaks in the process because I had no other option. I described to them what you followed, I'm not sure *how* they did it, but they had removed all the rusted out bits with minimal damage to the aluminium cylinder body and disassembled within 15 minutes!!

You most probably have a big gulp of air in the system, trapped somewhere, and it squeezes back and forth, refusing to budge, pretty common on the rear as the hoses are horizontal and the air can't naturally drift upwards... try taking a large syringe and injecting brake fluid backwards in through the caliper bleed nipple (empty the reservoir first), and with gentle pressure, you'll see the fluid eventually fill up the reservoir and that'll give you a solid bleed... yours is a common issue with rears and this is a guaranteed fix every time!

Hi there.. you could hook it out with a curled piece of wire or a seal pick if you have one.. but you may damage the rubber cup... so if it was all clean before, and functions ok now, then re-assembly everything and test it to see if it works ok on the bike.. if not, you'll have to hook it out and maybe risk damaging it. !
