Master Cylinder Repair Kits

Master Cylinder Rebuild Kits for a Reliable Braking System

With a master cylinder rebuild kit, you can restore your existing master cylinder to top condition. These kits typically contain all the necessary parts, such as rubbers, springs, and seals, to fix leaks and restore brake pressure. A rebuild is an economical and effective way to address wear without replacing the entire cylinder.

When to Rebuild Instead of Replace?

If the master cylinder housing is still in good condition, a rebuild is usually sufficient. Recognizable signs that a rebuild is needed:

• The brake lever feels spongy or slowly sinks in.
• There is leakage around the brake lever or at the connections.
• Brake pressure does not build up properly, despite fresh brake fluid.

What's in a Rebuild Kit?

A rebuild kit typically contains:

• New seals and rubber cups.
• A replacement piston and spring.
• Possibly a dust boot and retaining clip.

The exact contents vary by brand and type of motorcycle. Therefore, always check if the kit is suitable for your specific master cylinder.

Installation Tips for Rebuilding

Thoroughly clean the cylinder before installation and check the inside for damage or corrosion. Install the parts using clean brake fluid as lubricant; never use grease or oil. Carefully bleed the braking system after installation to remove air bubbles.

The Right Rebuild Kit for Your Motorcycle

Use the motorcycle selector to directly find the appropriate master cylinder rebuild kit for your make, model, and year of manufacture. This way, you restore original brake pressure and ride safely again with optimal feel in the brake lever.
