Radial brake M/C Ø17/Ø11/16 black/brown NISSIN - BMT17-41

NISSIN offers this brake master cylinder. When you squeeze the lever, it pushes a piston in the master cylinder. That piston drives brake fluid down the hose to the caliper, whose pistons clamp the pads against the disc; a reservoir holds a reserve of fluid.

Why replace the brake master cylinder?

The benefits:

• Replace a master cylinder that leaks or was broken in a crash.
• Choose the feel: radial models, whose piston is pushed in line with the lever, give more precise braking that is easier to control.
• Left-hand kits let you brake the rear wheel from the handlebar, a useful option with an automatic clutch.

Why choose NISSIN?

Nissin, the Japanese brake maker founded in 1953 (now part of Astemo), has produced motorcycle master cylinders since 1971 and disc brakes since 1974; Honda, formerly its largest shareholder, fits Nissin calipers as original equipment on its CR and CRF models.

When should you replace this part?

A leak at the lever or reservoir, or a lever that comes back to the grip: the master cylinder or its rebuild kit needs replacing.
