master cylinder blow out

[Tyler Oxton]

so went for a bit of a fast paced ride earlier. then i came back and parked the bike. after a lil bit i went back to the bike and noticed some fluid. got to looking and i have no rear brake preassure(doesnt engage) and fluic dripping around my master cylinder. I know its prolly just a hose leaking but its a pain in the ass. and now im goin to have to wait till tommorrow to fix in the light. anyways just wnat to know if yall have had this issue and if yall think its something else let me know

Make sure you clean the bike well after spilling brake fluid. That stuff will ruin paint (including powder coat) and the finish of most metals.

ok. well realized that its leaking out the top where the swith is. it wont hold preassure because of that. im not sure if u can just replace this and not the whole master cyclinder but thought id ask yall. heres a pic. sry its dark and sideways but look at it and u can seef whats happened. came off completely now
