The Front Master Cylinder

     Just a brief note today, as it turns out, that black gelatinous mess in the front brake master cylinder, is actually the diaphragm. It has degraded to the point of uselessness beyond hope.
     Now, is a replacement available from Kawasaki? Nope. Is it on eBay? Yes at some $30.00 plus shipping from Canada. I did, however find a great site - kurveygirl. And be careful how you type this - could end up somewhere where you do not want to be! Anyhow, the price from these guys was $23.95 including shipping. They take PAYPAL and have a great selection of Dzus fasteners etc.

     I will also be purchasing new stainless braided lines for the front and rear brakes.

     So, this week, as well as work I will be refurbishing the cylinder as taking down the KZ a bit more. I know I should take it all down and then refurb/ repair / replace but  can't help myself! Besides as I srtip the master cyclinder i will see if it needs a refurb kit for the piston and O rings........
