Periodic Maintenance Procedures
Master Cylinder Inspection (Visual Inspection)
Disassemble the front and rear master cylinders.
• Check that there are no scratches, rust or pitting on the
inner wall [A] of each master cylinder and on the outside
of each piston [B].
If a master cylinder or piston shows any damage, replace
them.
• Inspect the primary cup [C] and secondary cup [D].
If a cup is worn, damaged softened (rotted), or swollen,
the piston assembly should be replaced to renew the
cups.
If fluid leakage is noted at the brake lever, the piston assembly
should be replaced to renew the cups.
Front Master Cylinder [J]
• Check the dust covers [E] for damage.
If they are damaged, replace them.
• Check the piston return springs [F] for any damage.
If the springs are damaged, replace them.
•
Check that relief port [G] and supply port [H] are not
plugged.
If the relief port becomes plugged, the brake pads will
drag on the disc. Blow the ports clean with compressed
air.
