Thread: R6 MASTER CYLINDER CONVERSION

  1. #1
    Not sure if anyone has tried this yet, but I ordered a completed master cylinder off of and 2010 R6. It bolted right up with no modification. Great up grade, one finger braking for the most part. Still need to fix the reservoir bracket and get a new reservoir, not to fawned of the yellow pee color. Lol.

    where did you get the set up from? looking at doing the same and using an aluminum res with sight glass with the drain at the bottom, not the side.

    I got it off of a crashed R6, through M.I.D.S cycle salvage in Sumter S.C. I got it for $100.00 shipped.

    I would use the newer gen yamaha r6 and r1 master cylinders because they are made by brembo. The rest of the manufacturers use nissins. This is a popular upgrade among road racers, and the brake switch bolts right up!

    What is the difference of the m/c's?
    Did you go bigger for more volume or smaller for more pressure? Is there a pivot difference in the lever?

    A lot of the guys around my area use those wrist sweatbands to cover their reservoirs. Tons of colors/logos out there.

    The R6 is a 16mm, vs the buell which is probably closer to a 14mm. The pivot point is better giving you more leverage on the pull.
