Crusty Front Master Cylinder Image10
Noticed I had a leaking front master cyclinder, so I have removed it and it looks like it is leaking from the piston seal.

When I pulled the tank off, I was met with this horror show. Is this already too far gone or if it cleans up ok is a kit still a chance?

I believe it’s too far gone for repair and requires replacement. 🤨

And after you install the new one, change your brake fluid on the regular to prevent this from happening again.

Thanks all, will order a replacement  Sad

Looks like it might have been sitting for longer than I thought, don't have a good history on this bike.

Technically speaking, I would say it's rooted.
