Re: Will an R1 front master cylinder fit?
Cheers.
Just found that my master cylinder is an axial Nissin. Is this standard? The reservoir is pretty new so made me have a good look. Is it worth changing these seals? Not removed anything yet apart from pads. They look pretty new and clean. The sliding pins seem a bit stiff Last edited by DamoK4; 10-01-20 at 04:09 PM. |

I wouldn't take pistons out without changing seals, that's just me though.

Re: Will an R1 front master cylinder fit?
I might as well. Having issues with the sliders not moving at the mo. Cant pull the sliding bit out, both sides are well and truly seized. Soaking in wd50 at the moment.

Re: Will an R1 front master cylinder fit?
As per Chris' comment. You may aswell change them, they're an unknown age and quality and they can look okay but have actually swollen - to me the dust seals look a bit gammy but that could just be the light/liquid on them. They'll always look fairly clean as they're submerged...see what you find behind them.

Which slider? The one at the top side of the caliper or pin?

Re: Will an R1 front master cylinder fit?
WD40 is petroleum based and will swell and damage seals designed to work with brake fluid... but WD50 May be OK

Re: Will an R1 front master cylinder fit?
A rebuild kit should include new rubbers, R clips, retainer pins anyway. When I rebuilt mine they required persuasion with a heavy device to break the salt
My 2015 Tracer 900 looked like this today with little more than a spray with cleaner and gentle scrubbing |
