Thanks VFROZ, As a matter of interest / Frustration what did you do to delink the brakes? I am getting so frustrated with what on every motorcycle is a simple hydraulic circuit. I tend to agree with your earlier comments that most problems are caused by essentially years of neglect. This doesn't however make it any easier to correct, esp now as more and more parts are being obsoleted.

Hello VFRoz, I can only presume that if the Pushrod length was set too long that it might block a return port. I have now rebuilt both Front Calipers, secondary Master cyl, replaced PCv,Re built Front master cylinder, rebuilt rear caliper. Cleaned the "Filter / one way valve" as mentioned earlier. I was going to replace rear master cylinder as mine has a slight amount of wear, but have been told this item is now discontinued. This is the second attempt at fixing properly, and we still have the centre rear piston locking onto the brake rotor. We have blown all lines out and flushed nearly 2 Litres of brake fluid through. It feels as if the only thing we have not done is check the installed length of the Secondary Master Cyl pushrod. There are two mentions of the secondary master cylinder pushrod in the manual. But no dimensions.

I have a very similar problem. In the Honda Gen Workshop manual they list a probable cause as an incorrect Length of the secondary master cylinder pushrod. The manual does not give you the correct length. Honda Australia seem unwilling to help, all my local deadlers have no idea. There fore does any one actually know what the length should be. I note the rear master cylinder lengths are in the manual. I am very close to throwing the towel and de linking the Brakes. Has any one just tossed the screen out or does the one way valve / check valve have a real function ?
