Motorcycle radial master cylinder EX9

Why choose a motorcycle radial master cylinder?

Motorcycle radial master cylinders are generally considered better than standard master cylinders because they provide a more precise and powerful braking system. Radial master cylinders have a larger piston size and longer stroke than standard master cylinders, allowing them to provide greater overall braking force. Additionally, the radial design allows for more even pressure distribution, helping to reduce the risk of uneven or inconsistent braking. Finally, radial master cylinders are typically made with high-performance materials designed to withstand the heat and vibration of a motorcycle, giving them increased longevity and reliability.

How to choose one Motorcycle radial master cylinder?

Piston diameter: Choose the piston diameter corresponding to your braking system

The diameter of the handlebar: Depending on the size of your handlebar (22/25 mm) choose the corresponding master cylinder.

The Brand: It is important to choose a good quality master cylinder to ensure reliability and durability.

Manufacturing materials: A master cylinder machined from aluminum is of better quality than a product cast from alloy.

HOW TO BLEED THE MOTORCYCLE RADIAL MASTER CYLINDER?

Bleeding the motorcycle radial master cylinder is a process which consists of eliminating the air present in the braking system. This is necessary when air has entered the system, which may cause improper operation or reduced braking power.

Here are the general steps for bleeding a brake master cylinder:

1. Prepare the necessary materials : You will need a brake bleeding kit, clean brake oil and a tool to loosen the brake fittings.
2. Locate the brake master cylinder : The brake master cylinder is generally located on the handlebars of the motorcycle, it is often covered by a cover.
3. Loosen the brake bleeders : Use the appropriate tool to loosen the brake bleeders located on the brake master cylinder and on the caliper. Be prepared to catch any oil that will flow out when you loosen the fittings.
4. Purge the system : Use the brake bleeding kit to bleed the system. Depending on the kit, it may be necessary to squeeze a pump to suck the air in or squeeze the brake lever to force the air out.
5. check oil level : When the air is released, fill the master cylinder with clean brake oil to the appropriate level. During the operation, make sure you always have liquid in your jar. The type of oil to use is usually written on the brake reservoir cap.
6. Reinstall the brake fittings : Tighten the brake fittings again and check for oil leakage.
7. Test the braking : Test the braking to ensure it is working properly. It is important to do this on safe terrain and at a moderate speed. You can also wait several hours to check if air bubbles are still present in the circuit. These will go back up and your lever will “pout”, you will then have to start again
