Re: Flstc Mstr Cyl. Cover
Could be you are over tightening the cover screws, They don't get run down real hard. Check for the torque on them and don't go over it or you squish the gasket and they leak.

Re: Flstc Mstr Cyl. Cover
Hey, just joined this site today. I had a leaking master cylinder cover on my Softail and found it to be the screws needed some thread sealant on them, yep it was coming from the screw heads.

Re: Flstc Mstr Cyl. Cover
That's a gripe of mine... the "torque" for those screws is really touchy. And if any of that DOT 4 leaks out... your paint is gone.
Even worse, if it drips onto your tank... same thing. I preferred the older DOT 5. It might need changing every few years, but it was certainly more bike friendly. With cars... everything (master cyclinder, calipers, etc.) are tucked away under hood or something... but with bikes, it's out there, visible, and causes problems VERY easily. |
