    Master cylinder compatibility

    Hello everyone. Suzuki gs 750b owner here. I was wanting to rebuild my front master cylinder but finding a rebuild kit seems to be a rare occurrence. My question is, would I be better off just looking for a different Master cylinder from another year? Also does anyone know what other master cylinder would be compatible? Thanks
    in advance

    Masters are fairly universal, just as long as you get the correct piston diameter. Typically, single disc masters are 14mm and dual are 5/8". Double checking the factory manual should confirm that, though.

    To measure is to know.

      I never realized they were that close, 14mm to 15.8 mm. Would that even make a noticeable difference? I never tried it.

          Yep it makes a difference..... EX650 is a good choice for a dual. KLR650 is 14mm.
