Ebay master cylinder

I could be wrong definately. In all these years and Kawasaki's I've had a total of (2) master cylinder problems. If it's one of those round master cylinders, those are without a doubt hard to get the clip out of. If it's the newer trapazoid shape, those come apart with a simple screwdriver pry.
I have three round ones from Z1's and one round ( new one ) from the 1977 1000 LTD.
Jeff @ Z1 offers some snap ring pliers I may have to buy too. I'll have to check first @ the Doo shop, as we have tools that most people would never see or use.
1974 900 Z1 modified to look like a LTD , some engine mods. But I still have all the original parts.

If pro is opposite of con, then what is the opposite of progress?

. . .it . . . only pumps out a small drible of fluid . . . have tried and tried for at least . . .HOURS . . . and still it's no better. . . .
I am having the SAME problem, with a NEW FACTORY kit. . .
This thing was working, but had started to drop pressure occasionally, like the seals were getting old after 50k miles.
It all worked prior to the swap.
Now I can't get ANYTHING.

Mityvac bleeder kit
I wasted about 3 hours a day for 4 days in a row trying to manually get ANY pressure out of the brakes on my ZN700.
This bike was left outside for about 8 years unprotected from all kinds of weather by it's PO, and everything on it was gummed up/rusted/etc.
I bought one of the Mityvac bleeder kits at Harbor Freight for $25, and 45 mins later had the rear brakes working so well I could lock up the rear wheel, and the front brakes are so solid that I can probably do a "stoppie" if I want to. :ohmy:
One of the best danged investments I've ever made!

it drools . . .
holes aren't plugged with this unit . . . I see teeney air bubble coming back into the resevoir.
I'm going to pick up a loan a tool vacuum bleeder kit from the Advance Auto parts store on the way home. . .
I think the problem with these dual disk bikes is the way the fluid has to route to get to the calipers, plus the huge distance of rubber line that can get air in it.

When your doing the brakes consider getting the after market SS braided brake lines. The stock (or what came with the bike new)will age,expand and give a "iffy" response. Type in motorcycle brake lines on google and the list goes on and on.
Or just go here...
I mean HERE
Scroll through the pages...lots to choose from.
