Motorcycle brake reservoir glass broken!


Recommended Posts

Posted

Really need some help-I've got a Suzuki GN125 and today I noticed liquid on my gas tank after a short ride, realised it was coming from the brake reservoir and when I tough the sight lens/glass it smashed. I managed to bing it up so I could at least get home but now I don't know what to do. I'm really short of cash, is there anything temporary I can do. I seen online this guy put a bolt and washers through where the old sight glass was and it looked like a decent fix


Any help would be great

Here you go, permanent fix


Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332174485128

Possibly won't work with his master cylinder setup if its an intergral reservoir/master cylinder

Dont get the cheap ones from china/ hk etc you will be waiting weeks


Using a bolt to seal the hole will require sealant/ rubber washers and then you have to make sure its sealed .

Brake fluid will creep through a lot of items and its one fluid that you dont want on paintwork , brake disks , control switches/ internal contacts , control grips , clothing ( imaging its on your grips ,you use your glove to wipe your visor at night to remove that layer of fine misty rain ... you will not see bugger all .

You can buy new sightglasses but not sure what price ..


Ps how the hell did you break that !

Take your bike to a garage and get it fixed ASAP! A front brake fault can be FATAL.
