XJ1100 rear master cylinder questions

[HalfCentury]

This week's task involves bleeding the rear MC and its associated calipers. There are new stainless lines installed. I went over the MC including de-rusting the steel ring that mounts on top.

It appears that the sensor plug on the bottom is leaking. I knocked out the plug to see how easy it would be to just replace the plug and sensor with a bolt.

Has anyone deleted the rear MC sensor and plug?

Success. I was able to plug the hole in the bottom of the rear master cylinder.

I used a metric bolt 10mm-1.25 x 16mm. I have a stash of these bolts that are used to mount a Vetter bracket to the frame. The nut for this bolt was purchased at Lowes Home Improvement.

I smeared Yamabond 4 under the bolt head and around the hole in the MC. Then I smeared Yamabond 4 on the outside of the MC hole and on the face of the 10mm nut. The nut was snugged down with a ratchet.

The Yamabond was allowed to cure. The rear brake system was then bled with a Might Vac. Speed bleeder nipples were installed before bleeding. The bleeding process was only a few minutes with the Mighty Vac.

The goal is to be able to ride the bike this month to an inspection station for the annual inspection. It helps to have brakes.
