Honda CB750 Front Brake Master Cylinder Rebuild | Motorcycle Weak Brakes Fix | Part 24

[@petermitchell5994]

I've been watching your videos for some time, on a variety of items, and just have to say your temperment for these sorts or repairs is wonderful. It's so helpful for everyone doing these same reapirs, and a valuable resource. It's also very soothing to watch you work!

[@SPANNERRASH]

Thanks for that! We always find it helpful to see how someone else approaches a job and enjoy watching what they get up to.

Coffee? That job needs some Yorkshire tea! Good work.

[@SPANNERRASH]

Haha cheers James, and tea probably would be more appropriate all things considered 😂

[@ivanwalker6459]

Thank you, I'm doing this exact job tomorrow, it was great to have a look at what to expect before I do, cheers.

[@SPANNERRASH]

Glad it helped. It isn't too bad a job, once you get into it. Good luck.

Great job!!! And no coffee was spilt during the making of this video!! : )

[@SPANNERRASH]

Cheers! Only thing spilled was a bit of brake fluid, so no big deal. 😂

I'm having the same issue of a soft brake, which a fresh brake bleed did not fix. I ordered a kit and may see about a braded line as well. By the way, I really like the shirt you wore in this video!! Brett from Florida, USA

[@SPANNERRASH]

I love that Tee, but it is getting a little threadbare now :( It's annoying when a disk brake doesn't stop as well as a drum, but just wait until it starts squeeking, that is an even bigger problem to solve.

[@chrisrynston8749]

Great job. You have a nice relaxed way of working which I enjoy. Also no desire to make the CB 750 look factory new which I like and retains the bikes history, warts and all. Thanks and keep up the good work

[@SPANNERRASH]

Thanks for the kind words Chris, I really appreciate that. I do prefer to resurrect bikes rather than restore them.

[@geoffgreenhalgh3553]

I hope you got the brake fluid of the tank!

[@SPANNERRASH]

I wiped it off between the shots after the surprise fountain! No damage done to the paint :)

Hi ,from Newzealand how critical is that silver split ring . My mastercylinder on my k5 didnt have 1 .

[@SPANNERRASH]

No, it isn't critical. It makes sure the dust seal works better, but the master cylinder will work just fine without it. I suspect very little dust would get in there unless you are using the bike a lot in a harsh environment. I wouldn't worry about it if it was missing, but I would fit it if it was there. Hope that helps.

[@pigpossibilities2481]

Same problem with my CB750. Did this fix the issue?

[@SPANNERRASH]

The brake is nice and firm now. It solved the problem of virtually no power, but it still isn't as strong as a modern brake. I would really recommend using the braided line.

[@richardsaunders567]

Put some coffee in that milk lol Thanks for the vid, very helpful

[@SPANNERRASH]

Good call! But young gun is trying to wean me off Coffee! Glad the video was helpful.
