neat site however the brake master cylinder rebuild photo shows the cylinder internals incorrect, the seal on the spring should be between the piston and the spring. just a little small detail, I know , I would get a hold of the site owner to let him know but I don't speak or type Japanese!sulli wrote:There is a substitution available a zxr 400 clutch cable is compatible minor differences and should be available locally

the photo is from the website showing the assembly wrong, I assembled mine like per the diagram with the rubber between the spring and the piston. I sat up all night trying figure out what was the purpose of the little rubber thingie ( I don't think its a seal) . I think its simply a rubber guide to capture the spring so its piston end does not slide over and start scoring the cylinder bore.500bernie wrote:Hi Pepsi
Are you sure that yours (in the photo is assembled correctly) as the part is common to lots of models and they all show it assembled as per the diagram.
(zx900-a1, 300 ninja 2014 and loads of others including the Kr1s)
It is that long since I refurbished mine that I can't remember what it looked like, I know that I would have reassembled it exactly as it came apart, I will try and see if I took any photos.

Done it loads of times, never had any problems. I used FromJapan (not recently) but many other middleman services are available now.pepsi wrote:Anybody in the west try to buy parts from Japan?
