UPDATE: Well I put the springs in and WOW do they make a huge difference.. I think the slippage is gone.. Got on it and didn't feel any slip.. I will try later but need to wait for it to quit rainning..
I have a small leak coming from my front brake master cylinder and I can not find where its comeing from.. I only see the brake fluid on the handlebar when I am riding down the rode.. Don't see not leakage just parked.. I even pump the brake and nothing.. I am assuming it's inside some where but I will have to look for that.. Oil line leak is pretty much fixed.. You guys tighted the oil fittings in the bottom of the oil filter mount as tight as they go.. I still have room and get an ever so slight seeping from it.. However I can still tighten it but I am riding it now.. |

Well it was the vent holes in the master cyclinder that was leaking.. Since it only did it while I was riding I got a can of compressed air and sprayed it in the the vent hole in the front and low and behold brake fluid came out the other hole on the back towards the handle bar.. I think I had the MC cap on too tight and smashing the rubber seal too much.. I loosened it up and sprayed the air and maybe good.. When it stops raining I will test her out..
