...the front brakes take 1.5 squeezes to function, which is still plenty functional.

Really, with 600Lb of bike/rider!!...Until, God forbid, the time that you really need it!!! You know, that time...that unexpected time.

Sorry Fin, but you are an accident waiting to happen... :flag_of_truce:

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely, in an attractive & well preserved body...but rather to slide in sideways, body completely worn out and and with your last dying breath screaming, "HOOOYA LIFE, lets try that again"!!!

Granted. But I won't even be putting in an hour of driving like that, before I swap out the master cyl, and I'll just add in extra caution until then.

You guys should have felt the brakes on my first vanagon. Now that was scary...

Not everyone understands what a completely rational process this maintenance of a motorcycle is. They think it's some kind of a knack or some kind of affinity for machines in operation. They are right, but the knack is almost purely a process of reason.

Well hey, you didn't tell us that before... that makes it okay then.     :wacko1:

UPDATE TO ANYONE READING THIS THREAD IN THE FUTURE:

This is NOT an '02 R6 Master Cylinder. It is also not a 14mm radial. It appears to be a 17.5mm radial M/C off of an '07 (or equivalent year) Honda 600RR. For discussion and pictures and links, see here.

Not sure in the end if it just doesn't push enough fluid, or really does need a rebuild kit...
