I just had to do the master cylinder on the Acura, for the 2nd time since I got it (2020). The first one I put on lasted about 3 1/2 years. I looked into getting a Honda part this time (instead of chain parts store), but it was like 5x the price.
I've got the clutch adjusted better this time, where it disengages quicker, and engages later. And I found a better way to do the changeout - taking the line loose further away where it meets a length of rubber hose instead of at the M/C itself. Other than the reservoir, you can barely see the thing, so it's kind of difficult.
I'm not sure exactly what worked for the bleeding; I did a combination of things and finally, bingo. The counter guys said "difficult to bleed" was noted on their info. for the slave, at least.
The front tire's worn out on my bike, and so my nearly 50 year old, 11mpg P/U has been pressed into daily driver service for the last coupla of weeks, until I could get this done, lol. Glad I had it.
