There is no specified amount to put in the front brake master cylinder. I usually put the bike on the side stand and turn the front wheel all the way to the left. This brings the top of the master cylinder to as close to being parallel to the ground as possible. Remove the top and fill the the master cylinder as full as you can get it without it running over when you put the top back on. Be very careful of the brake fluid. DOT 5 is not to damaging to painted surfaces but DOT 4 is. Read the top of the master cylinder to make certain you are putting the right type of brake fluid in the brake system. DO NOT MIX THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF FLUIDS, THEY ARE NOT COMPATIBLE. I wouldn't fill the master cylinder any closer than about a 1/8 inch or so of the top.

Good Luck
Steve

2007 Ford Focus. Bleeding brakes on 2007 focus I get fluid to right front and left rear only absolutely nothing to right rear or left front

Question edited for clarity, year, maker model.
Question moved to sub category.

It may be the balance unit that puts more braking power on the front wheels but that is a funny crisscross mix. If your brakes have ABS they need bleeding using a pressurized system that pushes fluid into the cylinder bleed valve up to the reservoir in the engine bay.

2007 fatboy front disc brake makes a type of rattling noise when still cold but the noise goes away when front brake applied and disappears completley when bike/brakes warmed up after about 1km. Pad...

I your pads are only 2mm (0.080") thick, you are due for some new pads. They should be nearer 20mm thick without measuring the metal backing plate, both of them. Good reason for the rattle.

Good Luck

2007 Harley Fatboy Taillight problem.

Check to make sure BOTH light filaments are intact. Or try another bulb to double check the situation before wasting to much time on a simple fix.
