The stock SV master cylinder is more than up to the job

+1

if the brakes are feeling carp a quick clean and fresh fluid may cure it.

if not a master cylinder rebuild kit is less than £30 (for a curvy) on wemoto.com

I found on my bandit that braided hoses improved the brakes no end, that's my project next spring with this bike

i have to say my rear brake is rubbish, thats with new seals, braided hoses, HH pads, fresh fluid and no air in it at all

Re: rear brake master cylinder upgrade, what fits?
 

I would doubt that bit, the SV rear brakes are good enough to lock the rear wheel into a buttock clenching slide when working properly

Re: rear brake master cylinder upgrade, what fits?
 

its been bled no end of times (off the bike) and i just cant get it to work, i can lock up easier using engine braking.

assuming the pads are not glazed, not contaminated and have a good mating surface with the disc (not pressing against a banana shaped braking surface) then its almost certainly air in the system or something wrong with the MC seal/bore.

hmm, if its wet tomorrow i will strip it all down again and see whats hapening

No point doing it TBH

But if you want to there is neat one from CRF450 or something (IIRC) that fits, shiny with integrated reservoir.

I'm not 100% on this so you'd have to find one to check hole spacings and such.
