90 Yamaha FZR 1000 discussion forum:Leaking rear brake master cylinder |
| Leaking rear brake master cylinder |

| I´m overhauling the leaking rear brake master cylinder on my streetfighter FZR1000EXUP (RU model, I believe - first registered June 1990). The previous owner (who built some, but not all of the bike) says he´s pretty sure it is the original component, and one of the close-up photos in the Haynes manual suggests that it might be, as it shows the same vertical grooves on the outside of the casting that are on mine. However, the accompanying sketch doesn´t, and the piston kit parts look different there aswell. Nonetheless, I still went into my local Yamaha dealer to price up a new piston kit for it, but they were dubious about it too, as the exploded drawing that came up on the microfiche screen looked slightly different to the components I had in my hand (the microfiche drawing actually looked the same as the Haynes sketch). I asked if there was a mechanic around who might have had some experience of these particular bits, and who could confirm things one way or another, but there wasn´t. So I have a conundrum. For some reason, I´ve just got a gut feeling that it actually is the original item, and that the Haynes manual is a bit inaccurate. Nonetheless, I´d like to be sure before I shell out almost £30 for a new piston kit. I have a few photos of the master cylinder, taken from different angles, along with one of the internal piston kit parts - if any of you guys think you could help me out and confirm whether or not they look like the original bits, I can attach and send them to your e-mail address for you to have a look at. The shots were taken with a good digital camera and offer excellent, close-up quality. Here´s hoping someone can help me, so I don´t waste nearly £30 on the wrong parts!! Cheers, Polly13, Hull. |
