http://www.kxriders.com/forums/index.php/topic,14890.0.html*edit*you can try a rebuild kit, some guys have good luck with them....if you buy a new hose/line, get a stainless steel.I threw on a 2012 CRF450 master on my 250, made a huge difference...then about a month after, I backed it up with one of these...https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p/980/33250/Streamline-Front-Steel-Braided-Brake-Line?term=steel braided brake linethe slightest touch on the lever will lift the rear wheel off the ground now.
i noticed that my 93 k5 is leaking at the front master cylinder (the brake thingy at the handelbars) and was wondering if a kx250f or kx450f master cylinder would fit on the hose, or if even a newer hose would fit on the caliper?
i would like to upgrade though, is the master cylinder going to fit on the old brake line?

you'll be all set...just be sure to buy new hardware to go with it...meaning a new banjo bolt and crush washer, probably isn't necessary, but it's good to do. scroll down about half way,and you'll see what I did for my 250...very simple...http://www.kxriders.com/forums/index.php/topic,10821.30.html
just to be on the safe side....when I ordered the new banjo bolt for the CRF master, I ordered a 2012 CRF banjo bolt, so there wouldn't be any question....and yes, it all worked fine with the stock KX250 brake line.
