    THE GUY JUST WANTED TO KNOW BORE SIZE ON 94 FXR, NOT IF HE COULD USE THE SAME MASTER CYL. YOU HAVE TO KNOW BORE SIZE BEFORE U CAN ORDER KIT.

If the Master Cylinder BORE size is the same as the bore size required for the caliper you want to replace it with, then YES, you can use your existing Master Cylinder.

Starting the bike has effect on the front brakes and I doubt moving the bike does either. The problem sounds like you're using an improper procedure to bleed the brakes.

First, fill the front master cylinder reservoir with the proper type of brake fluid. Then, bleed the master cylinder. Use this EXACT procedure. Squeeze the lever and hold it. Then loosen the line from the front master cylinder and allow the pressure to bleed off. Release the brake lever. Repeat this procedure again. Do not allow the master cylinder reservoir to run dry during any part of this bleeding process.

Then move to the caliper bleeder valve. Squeeze and hold the brake lever, open the bleeder valve and bleed off the pressure, close the valve, release the lever and allow the master cylinder to refill. Repeat until you get a full firm brake lever. Top of the master cylinder. Wait a few minutes and test the brakes.

If you cannot get anything to work out, look in the very bottom of the master cylinder reservoir and you'll two holes. One is relatively large and the other is very small. Using a small drill bit or a strand of wire, make sure the small hole is open. I've seen trash plug this hole and the brakes not work correctly. DO NOT MIX DIFFERENT TYPES OF BRAKE FLUID. The correct brake fluid to use is printed on top of the reservior top.

Make sure you test the brakes before riding the bike, improper brake servicing can lead to serious injury or death.

Good Luck
Steve

your probably going to have to bleed the entire system.1st try & bleed the master cyl.
basicly the same as you would bleed the front/rear brakes. pump pedal & hold while someone
loosen the brake line on the master cyl. after m/c is bleed move to r/r,l/r,r/f,l/f wheels in
that order. if you have abs brakes & you got air in the pump a scan tool may be needed
to bleed properly.

How easy is it to rebuild the front brake master cylinder on a 2003 883 Hugger?

Rebuilding the master cylinder is relatively easy. Simply purchase a rebuild kit, take the master cylinder off the bike, Take the lever off and then most of the internal parts will simply come right out. With the internals out, you'll probably need to lightly hone the bore with a flex hone of the proper size. Lubricate the parts and install them just as they came out and reassemble the master cylinder. Then bleed the cylinder, hook up the brake hose on the bike and bleed the brakes at the caliper.

Go here to see an exploded view of your front master cylinder.

I have a 2003 electra glide classic with 2.5 in. of play in the front brake lever, is this a bad master cyl? Instructions to rebuild?

Check the master cylinder to see if the reservior is full. If not, fill with the proper type brake fluid. Then, bleed the master cylinder by loosening the banjo bolt at the end of the master cylinder, pull the lever and hold it, tighten the banjo bolt. Do this until all air is out of the master cylinder. If you still have the free play, a rebuild is required.

If your 2003 model is like the earllier models (I have rebuilt a late model like yours), take the large pivot pin out and the lever will come off. On some master cylinders, there is a snap ring that holds the internals in the master cylinder, on others, there aren't, but you must get the old internals out. Inspect the bore and hone if necessary to smooth the bore. If the bore is badly pitted, replace the assembly. Install new internals and put the lever back on. Fill with the proper brake fluid. Bleed the system of air. Warning, the brake fluid may ruin your paint if it gets on it.

Good Luck,
Steve
