March 13, 201610 yr Eh op where is the best place to purchase a braketec front master cylinder for my 2014 racing 250 . Thinking the one on eBay at £88 is a bit steep . Do you know any cheaper . Thanks Dave .
March 13, 201610 yr Where about in the country are you Dave? What kind of money would you like to pay?
March 13, 201610 yr Author Hi there I'm in South Yorkshire , but used to paying p/p has its 30 mile plus to my nearest shop . As to the price cheaper the better for braketec front master cylinder . Motormerlin ive just seen £76 . Cheers Dave
April 15, 201610 yr We have two gasser snow ...both with braketec master cylinders....both have developed worn out front seal on piston....just did the wife's yesterday ...be dammned mine now needs doing...question is......has anybody identified a source to buy these , I know one can buy a repair kit but I find it a lot of money to replace a 20 pence lip seal..it looks like being a regular maintenance task I would prefer to have a stock of the bit that matters
April 16, 201610 yr They need to include a half dozen with every new bike. 3 for the front 3 for the back. If we have to suffer with this crap, the manufactures should be up front about this.
April 16, 201610 yr My suggestion is to purchase AJP small reservoir master cylinder. I have seen a Pro's bike have a Nissin front brake master cylinder? I do have a GasGas 2014 Race and switched both Master cylinders to the AJP small reservoir.
April 20, 201610 yr So we,re all in the same boat.....you would think as line away suggests they would Bing a few in for the sake of their reputation.....maybe the new gas gas owners will take on board some of these niggling criticisms and for sake of a few centimes do something about it. What I was hopeing to find was somebody like Ivan Manning ( a guy who specialzed in seals of all types and loved hiss trials)...Ho hum

April 30, 201610 yr I'd look for a second hand AJP,Braketec quality seems variable Unfortunately Everything from Braketec seems suspect quality. Changed the caliper piston seals with Braketec every seal leaked, managed to find some original AJP seals no leaks.
September 19, 20169 yr It's a bit step buy a complete kit when master seal worn every year... Someone knows if i can borrow a master cylinder seal from another motorcycle to use in my braktec master? Or some kind of o ring?
