Moderator Snakebite68 Posted March 3 Moderator Posted March 3 But, is there ACTUALLY air in it? Have you re-bled it and there's definitely air? And how soon did the air come out? As in, did it come from the calliper end or the cylinder end? Quote

Moderator Snakebite68 Posted March 12 Moderator Posted March 12 Aaah, yeah, that will do it lol. Should be an easy job... Your best bet for a refurb kit would be a Yamaha dealer, and just do it yourself. If you have the original hydraulic lines, there's also a possibility that it has deteriorated and collapsed inside, but that's fairly unusual. Of course, it's also possible the master cylinder has failed... Quote
