I need an opinion or a hundred on the front brake master cylinder for my 82 XS400.
I was replacing the front brake pads, and pressing the piston back in using my patented "get a c-clamp and squeeze down on the old pad" method, when I heard a pop, and the piston slid right back with no issues.
No leaks in the system, I was stupid for not having the lid off the master cylinder, but now I get no pressure when I press the brake lever. Is there an easy way to check the master cylinder piston, or did I likely cause a problem somewhere else?
