Ya I didn't know that could happen. The bottom rubber casing is very flimsy and on the new master cylinder the brake plunger sits directly onto the internal plunger thing. Very easy to see how junk could get jammed in there and make the bottom seal weep fluid. There is also no rebuild kits for 16 and on master cylinder so a new one is on its way. The seals all look ok so I cleaned it up several times and will try it today... However the new one is going on prior to Vega!!!
Will now add a container of dot 4 to travel kit. Oh and for any one interested the master cylinder requires a torque head that is not in the KTM kit :(.
There is only one KTM that I've owned that I didn't like but I have to say I really don't know how one small bike company can find so many different fastining methods!

Nice video. In my opinion that mud pit really takes away from the race.

I wouldn't shed any tears if the pit went away. Being man-made, I found it very unpredictable.
