How to Install a Brembo 19RCS (or Basically Any Front Brake Master Cylinder) in Great Detail

In this video, we'll walk through the process of removing the old front brake master cylinder from a motorcycle, then unboxing a Brembo 19RCS and replacing the old master with it. While this was installed on my 2012 Triumph Daytona 675R, the process should be pretty much the same for most motorcycles. We’ll also talk about why I decided to make this upgrade, and how to adjust the Ratio Control System (RCS).

Drop a comment below if you've changed out your master cylinder, have thought about doing so, or if you just like motorcycles. 🙂

Hi Chad, brilliant video of master cylinder replacement technique.
You have a flare for instruction detail and would make a very good instructor of any subject that you tackle.
Be aware of how much more braking power you will now have and go easy until you get used to the new master cylinder setup.

The Brembo is a nice unit, I have one on a Suzuki. The bleeder nipple is a great feature, not many bikes have that. Just a tip for racing, take the calipers apart and clean out the old fluid behind the pistons. Bleeding doesn't replace much of it, and brake fluid wears out pretty quickly. Good luck racing.

Thanks for the content. Keep up the excellent work.

Thank you so much, doing most, if not all work as much as I can on my 04 zx6r . Just bought my upgraded master cylinder & lever. Looking fwd to doing my own upgrades !❤

I just invested in the HEL 19mm adjustable front master cylinder.
My new sponsor carries them and I was able to get it for a really
good discount. I haven't mounted it up yet but soon. Also got the
HEL braided lines to go with it. The stock Brembo setup on my
ZX10R is pretty good with some quality pads but I'm sure it'll be
noticeably better after the upgrade. Hoping to see some more of
your on track video.
Thanks for sharing and keep yourself safe! 😃👍❤🏍🏁

Thank you for the video, because of you I had ordered mine as well. I noticed in the manual it said to do the bleed first at the master than continue to the calipers. Do you remember encountering any issues after? Pressure wise I presume?

[Sanfterhund]

You forgot to mention the stickers! One of the most important components.

22:25 what's going on with the air bubbles in the tube seen in the background? I've seen that before and it it was driving me nuts.

[kowalski]

you bleed the calipers before the pump? sounds counter intuitive

[moggel]

I want to install this on my speed triple 1200 only I can’t find the cable from the brake switch . Do you know how this works ?

[deagleusp]

Hi!

Can you tell me how much torque the reservoir bolts have? thanks!

[conradicalized]

despite the intro, it only JUST clocked for me that your youtube user name is "Hi, I'm Chad" all lowercased. no spaces...instead of "HIM CHAD", all lowercased, no spaces. Always just figured you'd picked a YT name based on caveman english.

[lices]

this fits and R6 2008 right? also the stop lights are the same (universal) for every bike ? for my r6 spec

[karansawhney]

Chad, what was the reason to bleed the old master cylinder before removing it?

[Supersaiyanwolf]

Are you using brembo stylema 100mm for this bike ?

[hks]

I m so annoyed. The rubber seal on the cap is missing on mine. It was leaking fluid everywhere on my fairing. So pissed off.
