Hi all, am toying with the idea of getting a bling master cylinder. I am wondering if the swap out is as easy as pinching the line to the front brakes so no fluid will leak out and swaping it that way?
Any info would be apreciated.
Thanks in advance
You will need to re-bleed the lines, it's easy though.
Do not pinch the brake line.
get a speed bleeder and put fresh fluid in.
what MC are you thinking about?

Not to sure yet, maybe something like this http://www.bikecraft.net.au/Shop09/Fluid_tank_27ml_gold-details.aspx (http://www.bikecraft.net.au/Shop09/Fluid_tank_27ml_gold-details.aspx)
Tossing up between gold or silver as i have a navy S4R.
Would any of you know of the top of your head, what size the oem resovouir is and if the replacement has to be the same volume?
Cheers
Mine has a matching pair of the 27ml Rizoma's like the one's you have linked to.
Install is easy should only take half hour or so. Depending on how they mount up and if you are using the
bikini fairing it can be a little fiddly getting them to sit well/flat.

Ummm, I don't want to shock you too much, so you might want to sit down.
The link you posted, isn't, actually, a master cylinder.
Just saying, is all.
i was thinking the same...
if it's just the fluid reservoir you're changing you could get a large turkey baster to suck out the fluid, then put fresh fluid back in. bet if you left a little in there you might get away with no bleeding as the air wouldn't go into the lines between the master cylinder and the caliper.
sorry i meant the fluid reservoir thingy mi bob :)
