Hi all,
This forum is a great source of information - thanks to everyone who answers questions here.
I have recently bought a 1994 Honda VT250CR (aka Magna) to get back on two wheels after almost 20 years. The bike's got a couple of things things to tidy up.
Number 1 is a small leak from the front brake fluid reservoir. At first I thought it was comming from the top gasket, but its not. Its coming from the place where the brake lever pushes into the side of the unit (I am pretty sure the rubber seal there is shot).
I am interested in comments on the best approach is with this. Can I replace the rubber seal, or do I replace the whole brake unit?
Also interested in what sort of costs I might be looking at with this.
There is quite a bit of info on bleeding procedures here so I am happy to have a crack at doing the work myself.
Any comments welcome!
