soooo.... i snapped off the master cyclinder

#1 Unread post by alleywayriqashay »

So guys, I accidently snapped the master cylinder from my handle bars. i tried crazy glue and epoxy. I'm not the best with epoxy but it didn't hold at all. So I have my new cylinder waiting for me at the shop. When I change it. Can I just carefully top off the fluid in the new cylinder? I don't have experience with bleeding brakes so I would try not to do that.

My advice? Have the shop do it if you don't want to mess with your brakes.

Think of it this way, you have several hundred pounds of motorcycle and you heading down the road, you want your brakes to work when and how they should. Do you really want to risk it?
