Brake Fluid Reservoir

Reliable braking with a good brake fluid reservoir

The brake fluid reservoir is a small but crucial component of your motorcycle's braking system. It keeps the brake fluid at the correct level and ensures proper pressure in the system, so your brakes always function optimally. A damaged or old reservoir can lead to leaks or reduced braking performance. At GHMparts, you'll find high-quality brake fluid reservoirs for a wide range of motorcycle brands and models.

Function of the brake fluid reservoir

The reservoir stores brake fluid and compensates for the small volume changes that occur during braking. Thanks to its transparent design, you can easily check the fluid level. A well-sealed lid prevents moisture or dirt from entering, which is essential for maintaining braking power and the lifespan of the braking system.

When to replace the reservoir?

• In case of cracks, leaks, or a damaged connection.
• If the lid or seal is worn.
• When the reservoir is discolored or cloudy, making the level difficult to see.
• When installing a new master cylinder or lever system that requires a different reservoir.

Types of brake fluid reservoirs

• Original reservoirs: directly replaceable, fit precisely on the original braking system.
• Universal reservoirs: suitable for various motorcycles, often with adapters or mounting brackets.
• Custom reservoirs: in aluminum or carbon look for a sporty or unique appearance.

Mounting tips for a brake fluid reservoir

• Ensure the reservoir is securely mounted and positioned horizontally.
• Only use the recommended brake fluid (DOT 3, DOT 4, or DOT 5.1, depending on the system).
• Prevent air from entering the braking system during installation or replacement.
• Check for leaks after installation and bleed the system if necessary.
