Rear brake master cylinder rebuild kit - alternatives?

Post by williamshatnerspants » Wed Nov 27, 2013 12:35 am

Hi,

I'm in New Zealand and trying to find a rebuild kit for the rear brake master cylinder, at short notice. Is there a size I can ask the local (brake or motorcycle) suppliers for, or is it Honda/Nissin specific? I'd prefer not to order off eBay or from the UK as it'll take a week or more to get here.

Having said that, if I have no luck locally I'll order off Rick Oliver.

Thanks
Matt

You can find the part number here: http://www.akhara.com/nc30/nc30parts/index.htm

According to david Silvers website the part number has been superceded by 43520-MB2-315: http://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/part ... 520MB2305/

It's not an nc30 specific part so your dealer should be able to supply it.

Thanks for that Cammo.

I forgot to mention I have emailed the local Honda dealer, and my wallet and I wait nervously for the reply. I see there are many stockists for aftermarket motocross brake cylinder rebuild kits in NZ, which are cheap, so hoping there might be something aftermarket that'd fit.

UPDATE: the master cylinder was fine it just took far too long to get pressure into the system. Don't be tempted like me to pull on the rear brake lever using a rope while lying on the left hand side bleeding the rear. It just doesn't f)(* work. 5 mins with an assistant and all was good.

Do brembo or any other manufacturers make a replacement M/C that fits the NC30? Mine is a bit worse for wear and i'd rather upgrade than rebuild...
It don't matter if i'm fixin' it or ridin' it.
