I wasn't aware of this. I'll check it when reassembled.

I might be guilty of this! Again. will check when I reassemble.. looks like I'm popping the piston out again first too.

Thanks for all suggestions.


I've stripped and inspected the master cyclinder and it's really clean, all parts good and no problems appeared. Back together now and will reassemble the system and test again.


One last (probably silly) question.. The reservoir connection on the MC has two holes on the MC wall, one larger and one very small, almost pin sized. This is correct yes? I haven't got one that hasn't been machined correctly and the pinhole sized one should be larger?
