[QUOTE="graytaz, post: 886475, member: 7079"] I had the rear brake master cylinder replaced yesterday along with the ground spider recall. Brake is as solid as new and I have proper rear braking again. May need to adjust it down a bit just to make certain my foot doesn't ride on it unintentionally. Mech adjusted it lower for me but I think it should be a bit lower yet. He pinched off the line from the reservoir, removed the bolts holding the bracket for the pegs and then removed the banjo bolt, replaced the master cylinder and then bled the lines. Didn't take him very long and when he was done, he went and washed off the bike to make certain that there wasn't any brake fluid sitting where it wasn't wanted. He even did some polishing where he may have left prints. Thorough job. I was worried a bit when I arrived at the dealer and found out that my order for the banjo crush washers was screwed up by the parts counter but mech had some in his private stock and saved me another trip. The mech is the primary reason I get the service done there that I don't want to do personally. [/QUOTE]
