Thanks for posting this video. I just had the same issue on my 05 ultra classic and this was very helpful. Just completed it last night in about an hour or so. My master cylinder was nasty and filled with lots of sediment I think because I found the plunger seal had failed and allowed dirt in. I ended up flushing the whole system to be safe.

Dot 4 is hygroscopic, that means it absorbs moisture it dose not attract as some will say. This is why there are two different boiling points. Dry (no moisture) and wet full saturation. Dot 5 will not absorb moisture this leads to another issue. The moisture still gets in the system. The water is heavier than the fluid, it migrates to the brake calipers and over time can rust, or in cold weather freeze. Either issue is bad. On most Harleys the brakes are not being used to the point of vaporizing the water from heat. In a car yes and then you have no brakes. Important to change out that fluid no matter DOT4 or DOT5, also DOT5.1 is not a better DOT5 its a better DOT3/4. Sorry for getting all techey. Dot 3/4 will also remove paint. DOT5 is not as caustic to paint. You could have just opened the bleeder on the caliper to drain the fluid and then the line would be dry. Carb cleaner may have oils in it brake cleaner does not. Glad you washed it. Here is a little trick, when using a torx and your not sure about size, if you think you have the correct one, try one size up. If it fits use that. They do strip easy. Now you need to do the rear master cylinder. It is in the same shape as the front. And for those that have a hydro clutch do that one too. Every two years is recommended. Yea I know we dont. Mr Yogi, I only comment these things to help. It is in no way a one up thing. I have been turning wrenches for a long time. Just passing on some info that may help in the future.

Thank you for the information. I am doing a rebuild of the front brake system on my 03, RK. I had the brake lines changed awhile back to the chrome "skinny" braided lines. I also changed it from one line hitting a splitter to two separate lines, one for each caliper. My only question Im not sure what DOT fluid is in my system now. I will vacuum out the old fluid and clean it spotless so what flavor DOT should I use as the new stuff...????
@chuckhabrack33304 жыл бұрын
@@raymondpontremoli2489 03 would be DOT5 You need to keep the same fluid because it has been absorbed into the rubber parts i.e. the seals in the master and caliper and lining of the brake lines. They will swell if the two types are mixed and that is bad. Go to a Bike shop and get fluid like Bel-Ray, Motul, any name brand. Might seem pricey but it is your brakes. Stay away from a auto parts store chain. There is a difference.

Nice job and a real good video. I have the same brake light trouble on my Sportster - hoping the rebuild kit fixes it. I esp like how you bled the line. If I understand it correctly as long as the tube stays immersed in the brake fluid you can keep pumping the lever until the bubbles are gone. I always do the old open-pump-close-repeat thing: your way looks easier and quicker. Thanks again for the tips - stuff I would not have remembered to do (or thought of at all). I appreciate it!

Honestly it is really easy with the syringe. I did it last week for my clutch master cylinder and flushed out both front an rear breaks. Just put in half a syringe at a time and suck out half at a time from the reservoir and you will be impressed at how easy it is.
@rcanoli993 жыл бұрын
@@YogisCycleService Yeah you were right. I bought a 250ml syringe and it worked great. Pushing fluid up through the caliper and into the m/c makes so much sense and it's easier than the old way. You just go slow and when you're done you know for sure there can't be any air in the brake line. Now I just need to figure out why the new spring didn't fix my brake light the way it fixed yours in the video. The switch is new, the switch housing and brake lever are aligned but still the damn light stays on. Arrgh! But I'll figure it out eventually!

@@YogisCycleService Thanks for the thoughts - yes the brake switch works fine by hand. My setup is a bit different than the bike in your video. There's a pushrod that meets the nub on the brake switch and it was slipping up and down so I figured the spring was worn, not applying enough pressure to keep the pushrod aligned. But the new spring went in fine and the action at the lever feels alright. But the light is still stuck on. It might just be the alignment of the switch housing and brake I'll keep fiddling with it, eventually I'll get 'er working right. Thanks again for your advice I appreciate it!

Thank you for this tutorial. I have a similar situation with my 08 Dyna Street Bob. Before I tear into it, maybe you can help decide whether or not it’s worth rebuilding the cylinder? My front brake will not compress at all. I’m confident the strongest man in the world couldn’t compress it. Although, I loosened the banjo bolt and it compressed. I tried to open and bleed the brake system but I couldn’t get it to bleed. With the banjo bolt closed, the lever just will not compress. I’m at a loss. I don’t think it’s the brake cylinder. Could it be the line or the brake calipers?
@YogisCycleService4 жыл бұрын
That is a great question and honestly youre going to have to test each component to see where the clog is. If its in the master cylinder, the break lines or the caliper itself. If you loosened the bolt and it compressed I imagine the clog is somewhere after the master cylinder and is in either the line or the caliper. I imagine the next step is to disconnect the line from the caliper and see if when compressing the lever if you have pressure at the end of the line.
@Moosebops4 жыл бұрын
You’re correct. I went down the line and when I loosened the lower banjo bolt on the caliper, it started flowing. Everything works great. Flushed the lines and she’s good to go!

@YogisCycleService4 жыл бұрын
Guillermo Minoso wow well that sounds like you hit it all. There is another KZbinr called saddle tramp that I know has a video out there on a softail about the same era that had the same issue I believe and he walks through it step by step starting at the master cylinder and working back to the caliper to find where the breakdown is. I would suggest checking out that video and seeing if following those steps helps you isolate the issue. Since you replaced all of the components however you probably need to isolate each area to find the issue short of the brake lever pivot point but I doubt that’s the issue, but then again that’s the only spot maybe you haven’t checked yet.

@YogisCycleService4 жыл бұрын
W B it has to go to the dealer if you get air bubbles in a abs system. Apparently from what I understand they need to bleed the lines and hook the abs module up to the computer to clear codes and reset the module. If you look at my channel for a video I have on reverse bleeding I show you how to flush and bleed lines without introducing air into the system and avoid taking it to the dealer. Yes I have reused those washers before but usually repair kits come with new ones and if you have now washers you mind as well use them. Yes those banjo bolt washers I call crush washers.
