Title: rear master cylinder fitment
Post by: iamsofaking on June 24, 2013, 03:35:44 AM: So, I stripped out my rear master cylinder trying to force a banjo bolt that didn't fit, because I am a jackass. After looking at the price of a new oem one, I am checking ebay. Can anyone tell me what other models' brake cylinders will fit? Could this be a good time to upgrade?

Don't know if there are any upgrades for them :|

Hey Conbread!

I'm sorry to hijack the OP's thread, but is that a Zip-Ty tank you have?
What pipe are you running?
Can we see a pic of the other side of the bike?

By the way, congrats on your great race results! :mrgreen:

Post by: conbread on July 03, 2013, 01:27:52 AM: yes its the zipty racing kit.. it was on the bike when i got it with the FMF pipe... i love the fit and finish of the kit... its the main reason i bought this bike, because i have rebuilt or replaced everything else..

when i get home ill post a pic of the other side..

Post by: iamsofaking on April 06, 2014, 11:35:04 AM: I tried this with an 04 yz250 master and I get nothing out of it. Can't even generate enough pressure to bleed the line. I tried a rebuild kit, but no change. Starting to think I got hosed on the ebay.

Post by: alward25 on April 06, 2014, 01:26:52 PM: if i remember right it took a bit to bleed it, I reverse bled it to get all the air out. Works really good
