Brother, you’re helping me keep my 2002 running just perfectly. I love you man.
I usually do not like repair videos that are centered around commercials, As they are generally less informative, And always trying to sell you something you don't need, This is a good video!
So glad to have found your channel. Recently purchased an '08 TRX 400ex and I'm sad to say, it needs a lot of work (all of which I plan on doing myself.) These vids are so helpful to someone like me who is just starting out in the ATV world of preventative maintenance with the majority of the work long over-due. Keep them coming. Take care.
Thank you so much for this video I took apart my 2002 Raptor 660 today the master cylinder doing everything as your video suggested and showed and successfully completed it myself
I find these videos very informative. John your patience and professionalism is greatly appreciated. The k owledge you are providing is valuable to alot of us that can't afford to pay the high cost of mechanics. Would love to see full maintenance, trouble shooting and rebuilds of all major 4 wheel atv brands. Plus your opponion of the better quality and unreliability of those top brands. I'm looking to buy one and I would like an independent walk through of the 4 wheel atv's( polaris, yamaha, honda and suzuki, ect..). No paid spokesmen. Just an honest to goodness assessment. Thanks. A hopeful future owner.
Any video from John is going to be very informative and intelligently done! Great guy.
You make this look simple enough for everyone to try! Thanks
Thank you. Great video. Finally one that shows how you get the seal onto the piston! 👍🏼
Great video! Thank you. Started with the caliper on mine and see why that didn't work now. Also, concerned about your health, seem to be breathing heavy for such small tasks, with mechanical knowledge like yours in these videos its invaluable these days. Hope you're doing well!
Thanks for making this video, super helpful when I replaced my polaris trail boss rear cylinder last night.
Great video. It help me get the fluid through the rear master cylinder
Many times when a dealer tells you that a name brand fluid is better, it's an out right lie. There are many fluids that meet spec 100%, and are much less expensive. Otherwise, good help video, and I do enjoy learning.
Good job. Thank you for the detailed video
Well done very professional
Hi @Partzilla i bought a new master cylinder because i couldnt build much pressure in the system but now i kinda have the same issue. The pedal wont stiff it up. What am i looking for now? Can the issue be anywhere else?
Thanks for posting 👍 very helpful.👏
Love this channel!
Great video!
I need help diagnosing the rear brake issue on my 2015 Honda Rubicon FA7 DLX. The caliper piston pushes out when I pump the brake, but it won't go back in unless I take the caliper off and screw it back in. I there air in the system? Is the spring in the master cylinder broke? Is there something wrong with the caliper?
Other info you may need: There are no leaks anywhere. There is approx 6,000 km on the machine. The brake pads are close to the end of their life.
Oh, and BTW, this video was AWESOME! It explained a lot, but I'm still stumped.
your line could be deteriorated, restricting the release of the caliper.
@@111whereru Thanks for your response Mike, but that wasn't it. The rear pads were worn down enough that it was affecting the entire system. I rebuilt the rear master cylinder, took the calipers apart, cleaned the piston, flushed the lines and in the end, it was the pads - 🙄. Oddly enough, the pad life marker lines on the caliper told me I still had life in the pads, but they were looking a little thin so for $30 I should have started there - DOH - lol - lesson learned.
@@quaddingsous I have a Honda with new pads and a rebuilt master. the pads aren't retracting. The line is the problem. good to hear you got it
Love the Honda parts there the same as there Automotive Division.
I have a 2010 Polaris Scrambler 500 HO that had the brake fluid pour out the rear calliper. Where should I start with fixing this and what steps do I need to do?
learned a lot! cool!
Hello, my have a lil question, on my raptor 700. My master cylinder is new and in not able to make pression to bleed it.
Can that master cylinder operate while it's on its side
Awesome vid
having trouble bleeding the brakes on the back of my 2000 Sportsman Polaris have the same Reservoir up front or is it underneath the seat
Fantastic video! A+ thank you so much!
Hi, could you please assist me in how to fix my rear break master cylinder on a 1999 Honda Goldwing SE 1500? I really am battling.

Would it hurt the machine to use a standard car brake fluid ?
+Cody Brewer DOT is a standard of measurement that sets the specifications for fluids. As long as it's a DOT-4, it will work. You will need to pay attention to the boiling point as this varies from each manufacturer. The dry boiling point for the Honda DOT-4 fluid is 490 degrees F.
Cody Brewer
No, I dont think it would hurt it unless you're constantly using your brakes.
Any DOT 3 SYNTHETIC should be ok.
Very helpful. I have a 2006 Bruin 350 with a frozen front brake. You mentioned DOT 3 & 4 holds moisture. Is there another choice that wouldn’t do this? Thank so much.
5.1 but it's not necessary for this application. 3 or 4 should work fine.
How about if your brake lever is locked up?
I had to bleed my brakes on a 02 polaris trailblazer and I didnt the same thing your doing but nothing came out of the bleeder valve so i stuck a hex key in to see if it waa clogged and its closed. You cant push nothing thru it but once i open the bleeder valve up only way brake fluid will come out is if i pump the brakes first time working on the brakes on my machine and its irritating
I think I missed something. The only time fluid comes out is when the valve is open and you pump the brake. That's exactly how you bleed a brake system. Close valve, pump 3 times and hold pressure, then release valve, let a little out and close valve. Continue.
Sir,
Were you able to successfully purge all air from the line the way its normally routed? On mine there's a high spot in the line right before the caliper where some stubborn bubbles can hide. May be necessary to un-bolt the brake line brackets from swingarm to get a straight run from the caliper to the master.
Normally it will purge. If you get some that are stuck, you can always reroute the cable to eliminate the high spot temporarily.
Hi everybody can you please give me some suggestions on how to verify with videotape and a go pro hero 4 silver my 1299S when it intermittently and randomly and unexpectedly stalls out? Every time i take it to the dealer they said they can't duplicate the problem and Ducati of North America video taped my bike with no problems. But my 1299s still stalls out on me in congested stop in go traffic all the time and when I feather the clutch and drive between 0 to 15 mph on the street or freeway or on the street.However I'm an amateur and I just purchased a hero 4 go pro silver camera do you have suggestions on how to mount it to the 1299S gas tank ? I'm concerned with losing the camera what type a suction mount the go pro hero 4 camera? What I should use and what can I use in case the suction loses its grip to keep the camera from damaging the motorcycle and the camera in case it falls thanks advance for everything. The dealer said prove the 1299s is stalling out with video verification because they claim everything is checking out A ok on the computer test sheet with Ducati engineers and Ducati video tape that they won't show me What would you do? Thanks in advance for everything.
I rebuilt mine useing lots of fluid to make sure its lubed good but the piston is sticking in the cylinder? Is this normal when it's not hooked up
By not hooked up, I assume you mean you are moving it with your hand and it's not attached to the crank? Then yes, you most likely aren't sliding it perfectly straight, so it will stick.
Seems different for a Blaster... cant get the piston out...
I changed rear brake pads out on my 400ex, but it wont move now even in neutral.
Too much pressure in the line? Try bleeding it again.
11:24 The trick with those is to pronounce it "Aluminium" like the rest of the world.
That way they'll go back on really easily.
If you pronounce it "Aluminum", It wont go back on.
my allen wrench is stripped won’t come out either one, any advice?
You can try to go up a size and hammer it in to get enough traction, or use an extractor set to remove the bolt.
I bought the 400ex rebuild kit for rear master cylinder and cannot get this thing to build pressure. Please Help. Thanks
It takes a long time to bleed the system after this procedure. If your fluid is not moving in the reservoir as you bleed, then you are most likely going to have to pull it all apart again and make sure the master cylinder is put together correctly. Also, make sure nothing got torn or cracked when you installed it. If everything looks good, reinstall and try it again. It can be frustrating, but usually, it's something simple.
You will never get the pedal hard the way he's doing it. For some reason it's not like a car. I try for hours air never came out or brake fluid. If you still need help let me know. I know it's been almost a year since you post...
15-second commercials are ridiculous they are at the most important part
Read question on a 2008 honda trx400ex when i blead the brakes im not able to make pressure and when i do theres a circular thick rubber that ballons up when it it make pressure and at top and sideof rubber it leaks air and brake fluid im wondering how i can fix it cause i need back brakes the rubber bushing that leaks it is located at left side of caliper right side of spring that connect to ebrake at the end of that spring there is a medal that pivits on right side of that medal there the rubber that leaks. U are able to see rubber at lmin and 47sec on vid How can i fix leaking problem is there a kit that i can buy or how can i fix it .respond to my question as quick as possible
Not exactly sure what you're trying to describe, but all the parts for the caliper can be found here.

You never said please. Pfff👎
Please can you this white the yamaha raptor 700r?
It's the same basic process.
@@PartzillaParts My raptor does't have a reservoir, as far as I'm concerned. If it had, can you tell me where it is?
Yes you do. Start at the rear master cylinder and follow the hose up to the reservoir.
@@PartzillaParts thank You!
I have a Suzuki baja and it has the same problem so I took the master cylinder off like you did and took it apart. It's so tight in the hole that the spring has no effect. I've replaced it and still does the same thing. What should I do. Just buy a new one?
+Nathan flint That is probably your best option. Odd that there is such a clearance issue.
I AM GONE
Awesome video!
