Motorcycle rear brake master cylinder overhaul
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 ноя 2024
- Watch me rebuild and unstick the seized rear master cylinder on my Suzuki motorcycle. Being able to maintain your bike is a critical component of self sufficiency. This project cost me about 40 dollars instead of the 200+ the dealer wanted to charge me. In hindsight, I could have made this a 10 minute vid, I just wanted to make sure I covered everything, please forgive the length of this one.
Please give me some positive feedback if warranted, and any kind advice is appreciated with respect to my brand new channel. Stay tuned for more videos. Some will be motorcycle related, but most will be focused on topics of greater interest to the self reliant community. I appreciate your subs and your support.

Hey, glad you obviously saw my video of using the propane torch solution on that master cylinder I did and then you did an even better and more comprehensive video in showing the entire process. That propane attempt was just a shot in the dark...but it worked..LOL. Thereafter the plan on my end was for my son to order the rebuild kit and then we were going to finish the job...but as plans sometimes go...that was post phoned until this spring. So thankfully we now have your complementary video to help refresh our minds and complete the job. For it is remarkable how much one can forget in just leaving a project alone for several months. That is what I love about youtube on many repair projects that I do. It is a place where folks share and help move the knowledge forward for all to benefit. Thanks again...Great Job !
+RonGJX Thanks! Your video was the inspiration. I think I watched yours at least 4 times before attempting it.
Unfortunately I'm not familiar with that kind of snap ring setup. If I can find more information on that setup, I'll reply. Good luck with your repair. I've been out of town for a while and just now catching up on comments. Take care.
ETA- So all the kits I'm seeing that come with the snap ring has the holes in the end to capture the pins on your snap ring pliars. I think I'd have to see a picture of yours. Does your rebuild kit contain a new snap ring with the holes in it? If you want to shoot me a part number I can try to research this a little.
My issue is the plunger won’t move at all. I can push the back brake a 1/8th inch down and I don’t stop. I ordered all the parts and I’m about to tackle this project. Thanks so much for your help!
GREAT VIDEO!!! Worked like a charm. Heating the master cylinder body enough to expand and let the spring push out the piston and seal was a great idea. Thank you so much. My SV1000S is back on the road thanks to your help.
Very helpful video.
My rear brake (sv650 as well) has stopped functioning after not riding the bike for ~1 year. Will order the rebuild kit and try this out. Thanks for explaining the process in detail.
Thanks man, I have a V Strom 650, was able to heat it a bit then tap out the piston part (master cylinder is a little different than the SV650, allowing access to the other side
WATCHING THIS VIDEO MAKES ME FEEL BETTER MAN, THANKS, I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.
Glad I could help. I rarely use my rear brake, but it's sure nice having one!
Hi Paul, You don't have to necessarily buy a rebuild kit like I did. It really depends on what condition all of your parts are in. In my case, I probably could have reused my old parts after cleaning them up - but there is no way I could have un seized mine without using a lot of heat and the better part of a Saturday.
The way I look at it, if you are going through all the trouble to take the thing apart, might as well spend the 25 bucks and put brand new internals in their since you're looking at tearing everything apart anyway just to unseize it.
Perfect video! You literally answered every question I had lol i also have to buy a new rear set for my sv...thanks for the vid!
You need to invest in a bench to work on and a vice to hold you master cylinder while working on it. Save you a lot of frustration. Working on the floor is for amateurs. That being said, the video was actually great and helpful.
very thorough, appreciate you taking the time to create this video.
Pretty analytical and helpful! Thank you very much!
+GIANNHS1967 Thanks for checking it out.
Thank you
Thank you! I have the same problem on my Ninja 250R and didn't know how to get the piston out.
Will try using a heat gun ;)
It takes a LOT of heat since you have to basically vaporize the fluid trapped under the piston. Good luck with your project :)
It worked! Took some time and a lot of brake cleaner too. Tapped the piston in and the spring pushed it back out. Thanks again :)
It's such a reliefe when that thing finally pops out. I'd say it reminds me of when my daughter was born, but my wife goes through my videos sometimes.
This is a very well done Video Mark! I should/ will do you a video on how to slow mo the Magix editing software! Deep well socket to push the boot down.
+navythomas8 Thanks man! I really appreciate the feedback. I'm heading to the mountains next weekend to get some more videos going. Time to start growing my little channel :)
RandomPrepper2K you should send me the clip of the spring popping out, media fire works great, Send me the link on FB. Just give me about a 30 second clip of it popping out. I will use tht to show you how to slo mo that.
Great Job, ....
great video man. thank you
did you have to bench bleed this sucker or just put it back in and fill it up?
The views on this video will climb slow and Steady! You already have 17 views in Two days bro! Only 4 of which we know of.
Now I need to build subs. Hoping to add some more 'stimulating content' after the holiday. I'm sure there are some firearms and gear enthusiasts out there :)
Does this bike have master cylinder of 14mm bore diameter?
I can't recall. For my bike (2003 model) I just went to www.babbittsonline.com looked up my bike and ordered the piston and cup set. As I mentioned in the video, I wasn't very happy with their shipping, but maybe I just had bad luck. I liked ordering through them because they have the detailed parts diagrams for the bike and you can make sure that you are ordering exactly what you need.
This video is almost 2 years old now, and the rebuild is still rock solid. I recommend sticking with OEM parts and you're likely to get ones that fit.
RUclips comments are acting weird again, getting errors trying to reply directly to you guys.. might take me a bit to reply.. To Alan Guo, I didn't have to bench bleed the system, I just bled the brakes normally after everything was back on the bike. I did use this kit to make that process easier - amzn.to/2bPU8GU
Looks like the snap wring went in the wrong way round...
funny as fuck
why in God's name would you make a 25 minute video and not show us the finished work 🤬
