Just me or has the 2x countersunk screws they use on every front lid of the reservoir always been made of Swiss Cheese?
Stale Pastry most of the time..
This. They don't look that different, but when you have a mullered screw they make a world of difference. If you work on Japanese bikes, a set of JIS screwdrivers is a must have tool.
Also when you do get the damaged screws out, put new ones in. They only cost a few quid for the OEM ones, or less from ebay for something compatible.
I have always replaced them with stainless steel ones,with a hex head. Bling and practicality init!
What about if under heavy braking from say 130mph I have fluid spraying out of the top of my reservoir cap.. could this be the seal in the master gone so fluid and pressure coming back through it and blowing out the top of the res cap ? Ninja Zx6r 1999
Bit of valve paste on a screwed screw works every time .correct fit screw drivers and a little tap help
Hi, Can you please name or link down the rubber grease that you have used in that build ?
Important to mention… When the piston is in the rest position, the brake fluid will be balanced via The compensation hole. This compensation hole is very small, clean this compensation hole with a very thin wire of copper, if it would clog… you are guaranteed a dragging caliper, this has already happened to me twice!!! with the Honda CBX 1000. Stay Safe.
which hole are you talking about? the small holes through in the reservoir through which fluid makes its way down the piston?
@@JH09SUMIT No... the compensation hole is behind that blinked plate 3:27 of the Front-MASTER cylinder CLEAN IT !!!!! (Del forget to mention it) 🙁
Nicely demonstrated as ever buddy. Nice to have a clean job on the bench for a change rather than rolling around the floor eh :)
Ha ha.. said that right buddy.. first time on this build that when i went to wash my hands i didn't have to climb in the bath to do it..!..!
Top job Del. Reminds me of the whole point of your channel ; to help others. Some of us are old enough and "wise"? Enough to have done this job many times and take it in our stride providing it goes textbook, but for many many bikers it would be a black art scary experience..so respect due for the time and effort spent in making this clear and concise and totally less daunting for those who come to follow in our midst...Bravo Sir peace and Love to you both 👍🏻☮❤
Thanks Brother Springy, you're too kind me' duck.. and yeah, you could say this is where we started back ten years ago making videos to share a little love and reach out to anyone who needs it... the whole bike world has changed out of all recognition in the last decade, and not always for the better.. but nothing stands still aye mate, we just have to roll with the punches and keep skippin' along aye... Ride safe mate, and Pp says hi, xx
Another super video. Great closeup shots also. Workshop manuals are great to have. But you can't beat watching someone do the job. Particularly in a clear and concise manner.
Thank you buddy, thats very kind of you..
Another great vid! Thank you. Love the methodical approach you always take, it suits my OCD down to the ground!
Great video thanks , just a quick one I have a 15.8mm / 5/8 master cylinder with 6 pot calipers but I want to change to nissin 4 pots , could I do that and keep my stock master cylinder without any problems , its a zx9r and I want to put the triumph/nissin 4 pots on but don't want to change master cylinder so do you know why people want new master cylinders and is it just down to the feel of the brake , do you have previous experience of something similar , any advice would be much appreciated
Im not the best qualified person to answer this one, but from what i understand, swapping from 6 to 4 piston calipers makes little difference as long as the collective pumped volume of fluid behind the pistons is the same or similar... and in most cases, 4 pot calipers have bigger pistons than 6 pots, so it is.. The swap is usually motivated by the 4 pots being less liable to jam up and easier to bleed.. If it was my bike, it'd plumb them up, and go for a careful ride, see how they feel..!
@@Moonfleet41 thanks for the feedback much appreciated, yeah I just want calipers that need rebuilding less and a little cheaper to keep in good condition, I might get those four pots and give them a try , I think those standard 4 pots have a 14mm master cylinder internal bore and the 6 pots are 15.8mm , trying to find out as much as poss before I press the buy now button 😁. Keep up the great vids 👍🏼😎
@@bccapone837It's not critical mate, at the very worst you might find you need a little more lever pressure to create the same force on the disc face, but if you switch over to some new copper sintered brake pads, they create a greater rolling drag and, therefore, more bite needing less lever pressure... so they'll more than compensate!

As someone with no experience at all in the garage other than lawn mowers and bicycles. These videos are most helpful. Thanks Del and Penny.
Gas engine and 2 wheeled, sounds like perfect training for home Moto hobbyist mechanic. Only difference is the bike has 2 accelerator pedals.
what type of grease do you use to lubricate when assembly part of master cylinder or brake caliper. Thanks
Interesting too
I want also to know
Nice job Del, well explained as always. Hope you both have a good week. Cheers
3 dislikes? What is there to dislike? Is this for real?
Neat, clean and methodical, as always. Nice demo, Del 👍
Nice job Del. Very well explained as they always are.
I bought complete new handle bar with master cylinder, but I think that something is wrong with cylinder.
I perform air bleeding (conventional way and reverse), I don't think that air remain in system, but breaking force is just too weak, brake pads
move just small amount, and there is almost no back pressure on lever.
What is strange to me is when I press handle bar, there is significant fluid shooting in reservoir, I must put cap on reservoir otherwise I it would just spray all around.
Is this normal behavior that fluid shoots out during pressing handle bar?
Hey man, I'm a new viewer and I need some help I have an R3 with a twin disc conversion and I'm trying to install new levers however on my brake side it's not engaging my master cylinder not sure if k need to change the pump or buy a repair kit (new rider and also first bike)
UA-cam must know I need to do mine 😅 and I hadn't even done a search.
Don't know what your views are, Del. But I once saw this guy get some dry fine sandpaper and crosshatch the inside of the brake and clutch master cylinders to de-glaze them.
Your videos are timeless Del and Penny x
OK, cross hatching is done in cylinders to hone metal piston rings in... these cylinders have soft rubber seals and should be mirror smooth inside otherwise any roughness at all will accelerate wear on those seals and end them early.. just clean them, fit fresh new seals and fresh fluid, job done mate. !
Don't know why it's in Haynes service book this work tickled as 4 spanner&screwdriver, so get it to authorised suzuki service?
Its cheaper buying the seal and spring kit instead of piston.Piston wont be damaged you just need to replace rubber seals spring and clip.
Here's what gets me: See how simple and elegant design that master cylinder is? How did we de-evolve into the rubber hose, mounted on a stick up in the air like a hood ornament master cylinder? Sure for a $110 bucks more you can get the after thought reservoir that plugs in with no hose but even that is not nice, sleek, ununweird like what Del was working on. The one on my new Triumph looks like it was designed by an accountant.
I have to agree with you mate, I can't see how the p155 pot concept is a forward step, fine if it's under the bonnet of a car, but displayed on your handlebars in pride of place... does seem a little odd!
Awesome man in not a mechanic but needed this information so I can repair my own bike as there are not very good mechanics in mumbai the guy was literally banging to put the circlip as he did not hv the correct tool.
I would like to know if those same diameter piston able to replace the oem kit? Is it as long as the diameter of piston is the same will do the job? Some piston do have splines and some not, interchangeable?
and what if I dont get any fluid pumping out after install? could it be that fine hole? i get air bubbles out the other hole
👍 just did the front & rear on my KLR about the same process. New subscriber enjoy the videos, very helpful.
Love watching the Busa build! I’ve gone down the rabbit hole and got many projects planned ahead. Thanks for all the tips and the education. Cheers
Awesome video. It's like taking apart a puzzle and put it back together. I'm glad there's nothing wrong with my motorcycle but if anything does go wrong I know I can fix it from watching your videos. Penny and you Del Ride Safely and have A Wonderful Week. God Bless
You too {Paul, thanks for your kind words as ever sir, hope you're having a good summer and keeping well... Ride safe D&Px
Do you have a video that would help me do the rear brakes on a 2005 Road King, doing a flush and fill, maybe a rebuild
love watching you're vids you make it look easy tho. I'm thick
great video now i can get on and do my old GSX 1100E's master cylinder, just need to get cir clip pliers, whats the grease you use
Thats a cool old bike mate.. glad the video could help.. they send out some Red rubber grease in the kit included in the price.. so just order the kit and it'll be in there..
@@Moonfleet41 cheers
i would like to know, is it ok that the red grease mix with the freash new brake fluid?
del , one question the circlip i would put the flatside of it outwards.
CPU UK defo swiss cheese, I always replace mine with stainless steel Allens
Even after the c clip is removed, not able to remove the piston
when it says links in the description below where is it? can't find it. I'm looking for those circlip pliers
Links are all in the description under the video, available from Spanner Monkey Tools, and there's even a video from Wiha themselves!
My bike is not start fuel pomp bettry injector fues kill.swith ignition switch air filter electrifier all fues working but not start my Harley 750 please dear help me what I do I can not understand plese and sparking is nice spark plug is new but not start please help me bro
hello master! please what is this red cream 8:38 ??? well thank you. Attila from Slovakia
It's red rubber lube Attila, for lubricating and conditioning rubber parts!
Hi Del- this was extremely helpful to someone like me. I’ve never pulled my brake cylinder apart before. Also, I’m glad to see the wrap vid trending so nicely- you worked hard on that and should be mighty proud! 🏍👍🏍
Thanks Gary, it's always a surprise to find out there is so little inside a brake cylinder, and its so easy to fix.. And yes, the wrap video has done really well and im so proud of the bike now... Thanks for your support as always, take care.. Del.
Moonfleet41 😎👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
That street fighter promotes a vomit perge
Hi...jeez, I love your videos! Please can you tell me what that replacement kit is called? Our rubber is totally shot. I just can't find what its called..many thanks
Here you go.. Wemoto offer this pattern kit as reasonable money, or they can offer a genuine OEM kit for £33.. This is the one i used.. www.wemoto.com/bikes/suzuki/gsx_1300_ry_hayabusa/00/picture/brake_master_cylinder_repair_kit_-_front
Thanks very much
Nice easy little job explained beautifully.👍🏻
Del, the video needs to be 5 minutes longer, I haven’t finished doing the dishes yet 😂😂😂😂👍
Next time watch the video again until you finish the dishes🤣😅
Paul Harast, My boss says, sorry I meant charming beautiful wife says, if I’m a good boy I can go out on my bike once a year, ok she was very angry when I pulled up outside 7 months later.....but a deal is a deal eh. In all fairness it was great touring trip all around Europe.😂
Nice Harry Potter quote! One of my favorites...
Hi there I'm being really thick you mentioned about a link to the circlip pliers I can't find it anywhere ? Everyones asking about red grease but no info on the pliers, the make and where I can get them from. I've tired removing the circlip with normals one but I can't get the clip out. Love the videos by the way awesome
Here you go buddy, here's the link to the exact pliers I use: ua-cam.com/video/PMAOvLZaQ2I/v-deo.html
@@Moonfleet41 thats awesome thanks for getting back to me so quick I'll get a set ordered and rock on
I have similar Tokico calipers on my ZX6-RR, but four pots not six, just for information when Kawasaki send their master cylinder kits the middle seal is not fitted as helpful Suzuki appear to do. Looking at the the seal you'd think that will never fit on there! well it does and there is a method I found to fit it which I discovered on another video, it is a bit stressful though! Just to let you know there is a bit of a gap in the method for some owners doing a brake rebuild.
Great videos by the way, not being a total newbie on bikes after 20 plus years of racing but working on mostly new bikes so you don't really get the age related wear and things usually come apart really easily. Now having a small collection of older bikes (the newest is nearly 20 years old) I have had to learn a lot of new skills and I found your explainations invaluable. Keep up the good work....everyday is a school day.
Awesome quick little video that - no messing about. I was talking to one of the old hands at work, and we got onto the subject of bikes etc. Turns out he's one of your viewers! I was going to say small world, but you have such a massive fan base you've single-handedly shrunk the globe. Nice one Del - always a pleasure to watch!
Thank you so much mate.. don't they say we're all connected by no more then 5 points of contact.?.. Glad you enjoy the videos, and appreciate the support sir... !
@@Moonfleet41 Talking to your fan at work yesterday, he said he'd sent you a set of pins or something? Not quite sure what he was talking about, but he said you didn't use them? He means well, but he does go on a bit.
@@hdhardcore8511 Hi again Buddy... We did get a parcel with a pair of beautifully made caliper pad pins in there, and a hand written letter... but it had no name, no address, and also made it clear he didn;t want to be identified...just signed it off "and old guy with a lathe"... so if it was him.. then please tell him i WILL be using the pins, they are perfect and im very grateful.. if he had given me even the smallest return contact, even a private email, i would love to have thanked him personally... .those pins are so perfect they are like Watch Parts...Once again, please tell him thank you and we are very grateful. Del.
@@Moonfleet41 Ah right. I'll ask him but that makes sense. I'll speak to him and get he to message you. Do you have an email address or some way I can forward your details to him - cheers squire.
@@hdhardcore8511 Yeah, no problem, he can email on delboysgarage@yahoo.com Thanks in advance buddy.. Del.
Nice one Del, keep up the good work bud.
It's a good day when a Delboy video pops up in my notifications!
Thank you harlod, always good to hear from you sir.. have a great week.. D&Px
8:28: Is that simply some Red Rubber Grease or does it have to be specific to a braking circuit?
Alternatively, can I pour some DOT4 everywhere and consider it will lube things enough to put it back together?
(Wanting to do the job without waiting for new grease)
Whats that red stuff you keep applying from the small white tub?
Red Rubber Grease .!
Love how the previous owner took the time to fit adjustable levers but not clean / flush the brake fluid out! LMAO! some peeps eh! Pancake syrup! HA Great vid once again. Cheers!
Mike
Hey buddy.. yeah, different motivations aye, could tell you endless stories about things like that.. fancy exotic parts in badly neglected bikes aye.! Hope you and Moto Melly are fine and dandy and enjoying the summer brother..
really i had to mute it and i think they make pliers for that clip you had trouble with . you might of said that but the mute thing. hahahahah
Very nice 👍🏻👍🏻 what was that red grease you used?
Red rubber grease, it was supplied with the kit.
@@Moonfleet41 is there anything comparable, my kit did not come with the grease, how do you think jus using brake fluid will work. Ive seen others do that. And cool fact, 90's yamaha four wheelers have same exact internals in master cylinder, its why i checked your vid out. Cylinder im rebuilding was all apart and i needed to kno how to put it together.
@@bamajama87 Yes, fresh brake fluid will do to lubricate the seals for assembly.. Good luck with it, hope it goes well for you..
@@Moonfleet41 it did work out good jus had to be careful on the fresh paint. Didnt think about that at first lol. Do you kno of another grease thats safe for rubber.
@@bamajama87 Anything silicone based is usually safe on rubber..
very tasty video
Great vid, but can you tell us what the red stuff is that you applied?
It's silicone rubber grease, thanks for watching.
Honest opinion? Talk less and slower.
I think this vid confirms what is wrong with my FZ6 currently. The lever feels like it catches slightly before it begins to make pressure. Not great pressure either for a braided lines in a race set up. Calipers are completely free from air.
👍👍👍👍🏍🏍 another great job
I have to do the exaclty the same thing to my newly purchased '94 Fireblade. This video came at a perfect time, thanks a milion!
You ramble on too much....blah bla bla
Another good job done Del 👍👍
Also do you have a consolidated list of your sayings...or are you doing what you write down the first time it is written...
No list mate.. some i make up, some i find on the net, and some i find and modify.. just what ever feels good at the time..
@@Moonfleet41 Great....but they are inspirational...so Thanks....
Yes I have struggled in the past with poorly designed cir-clip pliers, usually chinese rubbish. Now I see there are better with that ever important ridge on the tip. WTG Wiha this is the first I hear about them. Good tools always goes along way. Thanks for showing. PS. Harley footpeg mount c clips are ever so tiny, I struggle fitting the pliers in those small holes, do you use a special one with smaller diameter tip?
Hey brother.. yes indeed, bless them HD clips.. the smallest one is under your brake and clutch levers, holding the pin in place.. the hole in those clips is 0.8mm, so you do need the correct sized pliers to get hold of them... never enough tools aye :-)
@@Moonfleet41 so do you have a plier with that diam or resort to using your finger nails as I do to ply them off?
@@Volvi373 No, "Two dart tips" works every time..lol!
I had to check and bleed my front cylinder on my 83 z750 ltd last week, all looked ok, ended up bleeding the calipers above the cylinder to get all the air out then used your top tip of taping up the lever overnight as it was still a bit spongy. 100% better in the morning!!
I think you said that the bike sat under cover for a while, what I find frightening is the fact that it was riding around on our roads that run down before being parked up.
The amount of safety maintenance you’ve done so far.
So, did they end up giving you a piece of vinyl so you could try your hand at it?! If so, please make a video! lol
thank you ! my haybusa front locked up on me on a short test ride after it has been sitting outside for 7 years ,, need to rebuild the brakes
A quick wee job Del, but so important eh!! I always stick some anti seize on the reservoir cover 'cheese' screws after having to drill stuck ones out!! Awrabesht to you both bro from me all the clan. 😉💙🤘
Looks like im doing my master cylinder soon as i dont think its been done for 20 years and my lever does go on forever when i break
Sounds like it's due then buddy.. good luck with it.
Hi Delboy. Great video. Just did the same job on my 1999 cbr600f. It was fine when I first fitted it but after leaving it a few hours I’m finding the piston isn’t returning back out and sometimes just stays fully in? I then press it a few times and it returns back out and will seem fine. I’ve definitely fitted it in the correct order. I’ve put red grease on the piston seal and clean brake fluid on the seal that attaches to the spring as my manual says to do. Brakes have been bled and no bubbles coming through calliper bleed screws so I’m stumped 🤔 any suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks
andrew my reaction is a bit late did you solve your problem? if yes please share what was it
brakes are important.
Hi Del & Penny.
1 - funny how the technology of that master cylinder is all but identical to my '73 GT250...I guess if it ain't broke...
2 - thank you, genuinely, for the quotes on the board at the end of this series. This has been a tough year for me, and they really have made me feel better.
3 - keep it coming!
Hi Damon, Yes indeed, nothing that works that well really needs changing aye... And im so glad that the quotes have touched out there and made a difference.. In the last project series i used song lines, but this time i just fancied doing something different, and its really good to know you have enjoyed it. We hope your tough time is over brother, like a wise man said.. 'Bad times are Temporary'.. Ride safe and take care.. Del.
Just ordered a rebuild kit for my '76 Suzi GT250 I am restoring.
Very clear and informative video, so neat and organized.
You make it look like a walk in the park.
Thanks Del.
Most welcome mate. Glad it helped, and good luck with yours..
Very good camera work. Good flow in video with closeup show how to fix it. Very good advice witch grip to use to get look ring out with right tool. So as a novis this video made me safer to do this job.
Most welcome Paul. Glad it was helpful!
A very handy video for the enthusiast who hasn't done that before. Thanks again :)
Thanks so much, exactly what I was looking for!
Good to see, the love, the expertise you get for such a grossly neglected vehicle.
Unfortunately, we Hungarians usually get one. My own XJR was not in a different state.
Good video.
When you start a bike build, do you have a preset budget?
having watched this, i went on to do my Honda cb600 f6 hornet...(just walk in the park) big thank you.
Congratulations mate, feels good to do it yourself aye?!
What kit was that?
Nice videos. Good Quality and very interesting.
Greets from Germany
Carried this out yesterday followed you step-by-step didn’t have a problem. Thanks again Del for a top video 👍🏽
Glad it helped mate, nice to have the job done aye! Stay well, all the best, Del
Nice simple video del good how to for anyone doing the job themselves nice one keep up the good work.
I have been pulling my hair out over the spongy front brake lever on my Gen2 Busa.Changed the hoses,replaced the caliper piston seals and vacuum pumped a whole bottle of new fluid through the system yet I still can't get the solid feel to the lever that I had when the bike was new.Without too much effort,the lever can be pulled back to the bar.Do you think rebuilding the master cylinder is a possible solution? Bike is 8 years old and just coming up to 30k on the clock.Also,what type of grease are you using on that rebuild? Red rubber?
Just to try and isolate one fault from another... when you pull the lever in, you say "without too much effort it can be pulled back to the bar"! Do you need to squeeze harder and harder to eventually achieve this... OR, do you pull the lever in, and if held at a constant pressure does the lever slowly sink back to the bar?... it's important to determine which,.!! have a check and let me know mate.. happy to help if i can..! Del.
@@Moonfleet41 Hi Del, if the lever is pulled in a few inches and held, it will slowly come back to the bar but it takes a few seconds for that to happen.If the lever is pulled with slightly increasing pressure,it will come all the way back to the bar quite easily.
@@captainbimble OK mate.. that confirms it.. the main seal inside your master cylinder is letting fluid past it.. its pretty dangerous obviously, so get yourself a kit asap and rebuild the whole thing... you'll get a new cup seal and metal piston with it, plus a new spring too... once you've done that, bleed it back up again and you'll have a rock hard one again right away.. !!!!
@@Moonfleet41 Thanks for the advice Del.Rebuild kit has been ordered.I'll let you know how I get on!!
Cheers again mucker.Lee.
@@Moonfleet41 Just an update Del.The rebuild kit arrived and I fitted it per your instructions.What a difference,I have brakes again! Even the Mrs came into the garage to squeeze my lever.She said it's been a while since she felt such a firm one! Keep the vids coming mate,Merry Xmas!!!
Man what a let down after last week's video. Oh well, back to the grind, nice simple informative video Del, catch you at the weekend.
Ha ha, Thanks Andy, back to business as usual mate.
Good job you have been extremely helpful with these videos. Thanks
What was that red gel? did that come with the refurb kit?
Yes it came with the refurb kit, it's red rubber grease.
@@Moonfleet41 Thank you my friend from across the pond... Love your videos.
Hi there, Delboy (and the rest of you guys).
Now that you mention corrosion... I have an excellent tip in case you haven’t heard about that product.
It’s called “Corrosion-X” and is quite inexpensive - they claim it’s used by the US Navy.
It’s based on the fact that all metals are a little magnetic, so it binds to them magnetically - making it very durable even at high pressures and temperatures.
I’ve used it myself and it’s amazing how effective it is (I tested it on a couple of screws etc in salt water, and the treated ones were like new after that treatment),
My brake components haven’t been tested with it yet, but at least the outermost components such as that circlip and outer piston end will benefit from it... and probably the inner parts as well.
Thank buddy, thats a cool tip, ill give it a look and see if i can find some... sounds like it could be useful long term in a daily used bike aye... Thanks for your support and have a good weekend... Del.
@@Moonfleet41 Indeed... it can be used for quite a few things of course, such as tools, exposed bike parts like exhausts, brake components, chains, etc... you're welcome, I wish a good weekend to you, too! c",)
extra
(P) Simple & effective! Glad your blazing round on the fighter 😀 hope PP is well.
Thanks mate, easy enough aye, and safe for another 20 years :-))
Another fantastic video from D AND P. I just want to say a massive thankyou once again for doing this for us Del. Cheers buddy
Thank you buddy, how nice to hear from you again... how goes it with the rides on Tetley, are you getting out and about (unlike us, nail to the garage these days lol)... hope the videos can help you in some way, enjoy the summer, all the best, D&Px
@@Moonfleet41 your videos are spot on my friend and help immensely. I commute every day on the bike so it keeps me happy. All the best to you both.
Ah circlips, ever noticed that if you deliberately try & ping one off out of sight somewhere, just by squeezing the pliers, it either bounces off something else & lands at your feet, or refuses to let go at all . . . but wave it at the job, . . . gone! : ) x
Ha ha.. yeah, or in your left eye..!
New one for 'Strictly', do the whole routine with pliers in both hands & without losing or breaking a clip.
Love the videos. I've wrenched on bikes for years but jobs like this and many others you've done go beyond the usual jobs I've done and are really fascinating to me. I've pulled the master cylinder off the bars countless times but never knew what was in there and how it ticks. Now I'd feel 100% confident rewatching this and doing it myself should the need arise. Cheers from across the pond!
Thank you for that kind feedback Kent.. it's often just the familiarity with the anatomy of what's inside these kind of parts that makes the job daunting... but as you can see.. no mystery in there, just basic simple components..
@@Moonfleet41 Exactly. I've always wrenched on my own cars and bikes. Used to be due to the fact I was a broke kid. I didn't have the money to pay someone to do something I was perfectly capable out figuring out. Now days it's more about just not wasting money and knowing that the job is done correctly. I laugh when guys ask "you do your own brakes"? I always tell friends that are scared to do more than pump their own gas, "just put it back together the way you took it apart".
Either way, UA-cam channels like your's are a godsend now days. So much better than trying to read a greasy well used Chilton or Clymer manual with crap black and white photos back in the day. How did we survive lol?
Ist stop for how to thanks Del
Most welcome mate.
From argentina you're a master i learn so much ehit your videos cpngratulations!!
Awesome, thank you for your kind feedback, we are glad you enjoy the videos. !
