Looks like I'm getting another rear brake master replaced! My brakes felt soft on Sunday. I bled the rear brakes thinking it's air in the lines....only to discover I had a leaking rear brake master! I stopped at SSC today for diagnostics and Shawn/Eddie ordered another brake master. Unfortunately, I already had it replaced last summer.
I ran into Brandon (S1000RR) and Brian (1198) while at the shop...Brian has his bike in storage and will be deploying to Afghanistan tomorrow.
MadDuck...they still have the R1/anniv colors in the showroom

Too bad you need another rear master! What's up with that stuff? Sorry to hear Brian is being shipped off to the sandbox. By the time he gets back they'll likely be stationing him at Fort Carson in Colorado. I would have liked to spent more time racing around with him. Oh Well.............
Oh, I didn't need to know that they still had the Anniversary.......... but thanks anyway.

Yeah, it's unfortunate Brian wasn't able to come out to more of the Sunday rides. He made a few attempts, but he either got rained out or dealt w/ road closures. At least both, him and his wife, get to deploy at the same time to get it over with.
As for the rear-brake master, the rubber tube/grommet that feed into the top leaks and free-rotates. While it's simple for a tech to diagnose, I was proud of being able to figure it out on my own...thanks for teaching me how to bleed the brakes/clutch.

You know, I was starting to get pretty interested in those R1s right up up until I say on one for a while. DAMN that thing is wide in the front end!!! Hopped on a new CBR immediately afterwards; it was much more svelte.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Is that the brake master or just the feed hose? From the picture it looks like it is only a hose. Hard to tell for sure.

When I tried on a R1 at the dealer it was wide but it didn't seem so bad. Maybe I was being blinded by the colors.
Sat behind one in traffic this morning that had aftermarket cans. Dang that thing sounded pretty darn good with that crossplane firing.
CBR is definitely slimmer but I'd have to have the REPSOL version.

It's the rubber piece that sits in the master cylinder piston...which is not supposed to rotate in place (per SSC). On a different issue, some change the metal clamp connecting the hose to the master because the OEM clamp "reportedly " occasionally loosens enough to draw in air. I still have my warranty until this summer, but this is giving me an incentive to look at extended warranty options!

I'd end up sending it to Nate and have it painted up in Simoncelli colors.

Gave up the regular Sunday ride today in order to work on some tools for my upcoming service project. The tool thing is an increasingly frustrating exercise in patience & sourcing parts / pieces. Further proof that I am completely out of my mind.
