Where exactly are you (the cap, the lever, or the hose)? Does the brake lever feel firm or soft when you squeeze it?
Brake fluid is corrosive and attracts grit. Use a lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol to clean the top edge of the reservoir and the underside of the cap. Any debris trapped here will create a path for fluid to weep out.
When reinstalling the cap, do not "crank" the screws down. Tighten them evenly in a cross-pattern until they are snug. Over-tightening is the #1 cause of cracked reservoir bodies. Advanced Troubleshooting: The "Pro-Fix"
The BRI system integrates the master cylinder and reservoir into a compact unit on the handlebars. While this saves weight and space, the seals and gaskets are under constant pressure and exposed to extreme temperature swings. Common causes for leaks include:
Applying too much torque to the cover screws can warp the plastic housing.
Water or dirt entering the system can degrade seals from the inside out. Step-by-Step Guide to a Leak-Free Setup
The rubber seal under the reservoir cap can perish or become pinched.
To ensure your system remains bone-dry throughout the season, follow these maintenance essentials:
