 +====== Inspection ====== 
 + 
 +  * 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.

-===== 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))
