Yes change the master cylinder or you'll die. Horribly. Fiery inferno... et cetera...


Have a look, closely compare the 650 and 1000 master cylinder. See what major difference there is to get any good out of them? No? Same part!!

Fiery inferno optional


The pistons on a sliding caliper move twice as far, ish. So the same piston area master cylinder still works fine. That 5/8" master cylinder seen on all SV650 and 1000 is also used on loads of GSXRs with 4 and 6 piston calipers.
