    I can't tell you how much these 600rr videos have helped me, not only in learning how to do all this stuff by myself but saving myself hundreds upon hundreds of dollars having a mechanic do it. These videos are one reason why I buy all my oem parts from Partzilla. Just my way of saying thank you I guess. Again, I really appreciate you guys! 👍👍👍

    I have a 2005 cbr 1000rr .. Im about to rebuild the front and rear cylinders so I appreciate the videos! My front brakes locked up on me while riding just to the corner store luckily. The front wheel wouldnt even move afterwards until I bled the brake some.

    Many thanx - I'm rebuilding the master cyclinder on a 99' CBR900RR and although the parts are a little different, overall they are similar enough to what you showed us here, that I was able to disassemble it successfully - I couldn't work out how it came apart until I watched this and found out there's that circlip hiding under the rubber boot! Much appreciated!!

    Amazing video guide. Performed it without removing the master brake assy or the brake lines, from the bike. Just get the right height seat to sit beside the bike and the task is a breeze. Once the internals are reassembled the brake pressure takes a while to build up. But once it is up after bleeding, it is spot on 👌👌👌👌👌

    I have a drz 400 sm, after I bleed the front brakes they feel really stiff, after a week of riding they are not as still as before, always gotta push on the lever a little more to get the same effect as right after bleeding them. I rebuilt my brake caliper (new seals, fluid, all clean before reinstalling) like 6 months ago, and I had this issue ever since that and before too, could this mean that I should rebuild my front master cylinder?

    @@PartzillaParts I'd removed the bolt that is close to the instrument cluster, but there's an adjustment bolt that refuse to let go the handle. That bolt is the one that goes thru the handle and into the Master Cylinder like a slave bolt. For some reason, that bolt does not let go the handle so I can repair the pump. Could this be the case because my Master Cylinder is Brembo and not the Honda or Nissin brand?

    Not necessarily. If it's been sitting for awhile, it could have just got air in the system. I would flush and bleed it, make sure all the lines are tight. If it continues to be an issue, then rebuild the master cylinder.

    Make sure your fluid is not overfilled. Random thought, have you inspected your lever? Does it fully disengage? I've seen damaged brake levers, aftermarket or improperly adjusted levers leave constant pressure on the line and the brakes overheat in no time causing them to expand without your permission. It's something you might want to check.

    hello Lucky Collins my guess would be that you still have some air in the system somewhere. try tapping on the lines and cylinder while trying to bleed. sometimes it can be a pain to get it all out. another thing you can try is pulling the lever in and letting it slam open several times. that can send vibrations trough the lines and help remove the air. or you could find a vacuum pump to help bleed the air. something like this... www.partzilla.com/product/aftermarket/2Y5E-JIMS-738?q_ref=L2Jsb2cvcXVpY2stbWFpbnRlbmFuY2UtYmxlZWRpbmctbW90b3JjeWNsZS1icmFrZXM

    The only time you should rebuild is if it seizes or gets so much corrosion that it stops functioning properly. Maybe if it's damaged in a wreck. It's rare that you should have to rebuild a brake cylinder/caliper. Thanks for watching!
