 +  * Inspect the master cylinder and linkage for damage or leakage, failure to return fully when released, or sponginess when applying pressure.
 +  * Perform a stationary test:
 +    * Squeeze the lever or depress the pedal as hard as possible to make sure the system will not leak or fail. \\ Make sure the system releases and the wheel turns freely.
 +    * Check the brake fluid for contamination and proper level. \\ Any problem with the master cylinder requires rebuilding or replacement. \\ The fluid change level should be 1/8” from top (with reservoir level).
 +    * Linkage inspection: Check for damage and wear especially with non-stock parts.
 +    * Some amount of freeplay must exist in most brake systems.

-      * 1982 (only) had a 3/4” bore. +
-      * 1983-1995 had 5/8” bore on a single disc and 11/16" on dual discs. +
-      * 1996 and up had 9/16” on singles and 13/16" on duals (however, 1996-2003 S models had a 11/16" bore). +
-      * This information has been repeated around many forums and it's not clear exactly which HD models the MMI information refers to. \\ However, the information below was taken from period specific Sportster parts catalogs.+

-===== Cleaning The Master Cylinder ===== 
- 
-  * For use with DOT 5 brake fluid: Always clean brake system rubber parts by washing in denatured alcohol or DOT 5 brake fluid. Do not use mineral base cleaning solvents such as gasoline or paint thinner. These cause deterioration of non-metallic parts which would continue to deteriorate after assembly, possibly resulting in component failure. ((HD Service Bulletin #M-785 dated June 10, 1980))
