I haven't been able to get the rear brake working in all the years that I've owned my 1997 S3. Fortunately, the front brake is more than sufficient. I've taken the master cylinder apart, as well as the caliper, and both look fine to the naked eye. Every few months I try new and different ways to bleed the rear brake, figuring the novelty of two working brakes might be nice! I'm persistent, but today was the LAST time. The piston in the m/c is plastic, which can't be conducive to long life. The H-D dealership reports that no rebuild parts are available. Does anyone know anything different? Are there any aftermarket sources of rebuild parts? Should I stop being cheap and price a new m/c? Has anyone got a new or [known to work] used m/c they'd like to part with? Thanks! } | ||

I just checked the American Sport Bike site and they don't have anything listed for a re-build kit for your rear caliper. From my experience, if American Sport Bike doesn't have it, it doesn't exist. Would a '98 rear master cylinder fit your bike? I see them on E-Bay all the time.... |
