Master cylinder repair kit
gravelrash replied to gravelrash's topic in Advice on Repairing and maintaining your bike
Thanks Dick, I have used David silvers in the (distant!)past when I had my cb250 rsa years ago and I know he's good, but I thought he only sold parts for older models. (Tried Wemoto my usual first stop but no good) The part in your link does look very similar though Going to give him a ring. Thanks Dick! -
Just received this overhaul kit for my daughters bike. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-XR-125-L5-2005-Front-Brake-Master-Cylinder-Repair-Kit-/130766711313?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item1e724daa11&_uhb=1 But it doesn't contain the rubber boot that goes over the piston. I phoned M&P Direct and they said hardly any of the kits contain it but it can clearly be seen in the photo and its the rubber boot that's perished on the bike. I realise its a generic photo but now I'll have to send the kit back and look elsewhere Rant over Can anyone recommend anywhere to try or shall I just go to Honda?

Thanks Chad, fits great! Glad your not wrapping my chrissy prezzies Chad I'd be there till Boxing day trying to unwrap them! -
Was there at Mikes and Ians hope I'm not the common denominator ......Don't want family a tent do you Mike? sorry Ian. -
Was there any need! I'd already forgotten your little misadventure Ian

Enjoyed that as much as the 'mach loop' one Gaz Some very expensive repair bills though! -
Will ask Mark (haveugot1) when he's going to be gritting then avoid those days! the xj is a good winter bike Dick but the heater in the car is sometimes to attractive not that you have any choice mate! -

On my 3rd set on the B12 and really like them good grip in the wet and dry but never tried them on the track seem to last well even ridden with spirit my rear (of bike ) still has a good profile with 2000 on the tyre! -

Can't really use any more (head? ) thread Chad cos I'd be going into the exhaust but a bigger deeper easy-out may have worked if there was room Yep spark erosion is the only way but that will be head of you can some times wiggle them back out , hope all goes well . i will never use them as 9 time out of ten it snaps , well crap Managed to drill the easy-out er! out I'll just keep widening the hole then hopefully collapse the bolt shank in on itself with a small drift (had tried the cutting a slot and using a flat-head but couldn't shift it,same story with using a small cold chisel ) I'll get it in the end!! -
This is the one I bought Chad. but it doesn't clear the disc if you think yours will then I.ll have it mate, there just standard b12 k5 discs

Easy-outs argh!!

If your really good I'll have a word with Chad and see if he can send you a visor sticker But only if your really good! -
Chad if you've still got the disc lock could you measure the slot cos I bought an abus granit disc lock for my 12 bandit which is 3" slot measurement but wont fit over the disc

Top marks Dave! Oh well back to drilling, -
In both versions its a stunning bike and does you proud mate! Oh! welcome back -
Just bought some easy-outs to remove a snapped bolt in an exhaust heat shield bracket. Soaked with plus gas for a few days, drilled the pilot hole and slowly inserted the easy-out and turned anti clockwise Whose the psychic who can guess what happens next?
-
Here you are Dave no more signal loss on the next rideout -
Have a great night Maveric another year older, another year wiser!
