rear brake issuees

[Kopfjaeger]

ok got the master cylinder off and pulled it to bits. after wading through the piles of rust and dirt under the rubber boot  i finally managed to get the piston out... looks like the top seal under the spring is shagged, going to have to get a kit for it (if i can) or order a new master cylinder set of rubbers. is all good just means more front brake practice... took pics and will set 'em up as soon as i can. its only holding pressure at the very last 1-3mm of movement from the brake pedal.   joys of motorcycling

ok  . i have my rear brakes amended. would have pics but the air was a dark shade of blue around work area as i did my neck on thurs  had parts friday didnt get to work on it till sunday arvo. helps when you take all the parts out not to reassemble with old parts back in  . long story. back in and bled all great, did oil change  and filter change, put all my dash lights in so that all works put the fuel needle back to where it should be and replaced my tail lights as they were blown on parkers. 140? odd bucks for the rear master kit comes with new piston cup seal , lip seal, spring, circlip, and shaft from clevis to piston with a new rubber boot..... i did worry as it has been running hot of late. oil has done about 5000 ks or so.... as i said new oil and filter, for some reason i took the little screw off the oil filter housing.... normally dont do that... please remeber to put it back in ...!!! i lost about a litre of oil straight across my driveway... .... alll good also now know my pumps  :good2:working good , took the screw out of the engine head to check on flow up there its all good too. me thinks oil be shagged and fresh oil well due. o and the right rear foot plate cannot be removed due to a rounded bolt head, so if you remove the exhaust and then take the cotter pin out of the clevis pin undo the rear brake lever loosen the banjyo fitting on the master cylinder and loosen the master cylinder you can push the brake shaft back juuuuusssst far enought to get the clevis pin out  then remove the master cylinder just sucks when the return spring happens to drop off
