I ground mine down to fit, they need to be pretty narrow circlip pliers

Double check the numbers on your master cylinder (sorry I'm having a horrible flash back here). Tell us what it says on the barrel, on my curvy someone had crashed the bike and wrecked the mastecylinder and unbeknown to me fitted a smaller capacity mastercylinder.

hmmm On the barrel bit of the mastercilinder it should say something like 5/8 or 1/4 etc and on the other side it'll say the brand like 'nissin'.

Right, now we need someone clever to appear and tell us what it should be
I thought it was 5/8 but could be wrong I'll do a quick search
