Does anyone know if the 2018 RMZ450 Rear Master Cylinder will fit on an older RMZ450? They look very similar, and the new ones are a lot cheaper, and are probably better.

Old



New



If anyone has a 2018+ RMZ450, could you measure the bolt centers for the mount? Chances are if that matches, the cylinder will mount up.

Thanks!

I would doubt they’d fit, they actually look way different lol I can measure tomorrow if you’d like.

Hi Luke,

At first I was inclined to the same thing, but then I remembered that it IS Suzuki we're talking about here, and also that the brake pedal looks unchanged.

I'm not saying that you're wrong, but without measurements it's really hard to tell.

Are you able to make measurements? If so, I think just the bolt center distance would be good, and then the horizontal distance between an imaginary vertical line (connecting both mounting bolts) and the "stroke-axis" (vertical axis) that the master cylinder plunger travels in. I hope that makes sense.



Like this. excuse the blue ink, it's supposed to be an arrow.

Please let me know!
