- BIG CHANGE! RCB ADJUSTABLE BRAKE LEVER & RADIAL MASTER CYLINDER REVIEW AFTER A YEAR TVS APACHE RTR 200
Its been more than a year the RCB Brake Master cylinder with adjustable lever is doing its duty in my TVS Apache RTR 200. This is an upgrade to the conventional axial master cylinder as the brake force is radially actuated. The lever is adjustable for reach which should help a lot of riders who face difficulty in lever operation.
So how well the RCB brake master cylinder is performing after a year of installation. The motorcycle has done long highway rides where the brake was used under high speeds while the city traffic made it suffer frequent braking which usually increase the brake fluid temperature as well as temperature of the friction parts. Did the master cylinder cause any problem to the rest of braking system like brake lines, caliper, seals, brake pads, disc etc? We will find out in this video...

Now, give us a review on RCB Hydraulic Clutch too.
My bs3 gives only 23kmpl
Many reported bs3 have this much only
Lovely ❤❤
First
I was waiting for this, so it does adds performs improvement, only this channel never forgets on giving such important updates, most of the other channels feature this brake just because it was sponsored or in trend, but no one gave long term update on this. Thanks buddy
I've installed and run it for the past 9 months on my RS200.
Wasn't sponsored though, I bought it with my own money and it was worth every penny.
You can find 3 videos on my channel using it during cornering (although only one of the videos is fast riding).
It's a significant upgrade over stock master cylinder.
@@BISONBHARGAVA thanks buddy appreciate it
@@BISONBHARGAVA which one did you buy, 14mm or 17mm and what would you recommend for Pulsar 150?
@@tejaspadhye hey man.
I bought the 14mm master cylinder since it is the recommended one for motorcycles upto 250cc.
For Pulsar 150, the 14mm master would be perfect.
Note that the braking force will be greater and so, you'll have to be a bit careful not to lock the front wheels if ABS is not available in your motorcycle.
If you're an experienced rider, it shouldn't be an issue at all.
@@BISONBHARGAVA ah nice. I have abs luckily. Thanks for the reply
After saw review of Castrol powerone ultimate I am big fan of yours. Please take a review of Veedol 10w50 Take off 4T Racing fully synthetic & Veedol Take off 4T Swift 10W40. Hope I will see a review in near future.
Bro I'm. Begging u to please put out a solution on the brake fluid container cap. Please bro it's much needed for us rcb users.
What's wrong with your container cap?
@@christinevarghese965 ppl keep messing around with it bro. It has no safety like a bolt or something. It's just a turn open screw type cap
Hi!
I am currently testing 2 solutions for the same.
Do you know what is the size of the stock master cylinder bore? The RCB ones come in 12.7, 14 and 17 mm sizes so I'm confused as to which size to get. I want something close to stock but a little smaller to make it easier to pull.
Looks like a tiny bit of air left in the hoses. They all do it, and it's almost impossible to get it all out from the bleed screw, BUT...
When you put the bike away in the evening, pump the lever a few times, then squeeze HARD. As in all the way, if you can. Might help to push it all the way out on the adjuster. Then tie it off in that position using a cable tie.
This compresses all the bubbles and forces them away from the walls. They supposedly then make their way to the top and into the reservoir once you cut the cable tie off in the morning (or some days later).
This is by far the cheapest, easiest way to improve brake feel and it works on all systems.
Then pads.
Then the radial master. That one is a huge improvement.
Then steel brake lines. And radial calipers.
Try upgrading brake pads. RTR's brake pads lasts longer but bite is descent.
CBR's brakes are crisp and wears faster. I feel it depends on the compounds and abrasion materials used in brake pads.
Can we use cbr's pads on rtr200??
@@mohdaslam5033 It won't fit in RTR 180, no ide about RTR 200
@@manojsgowda4545 ol thanks, I thinks 180 and 200 have same braking system
Bro plz reply i have 14mm RCB in my v3 and the spin thinks get loose while riding plz i am confused
I watched your video on STP fuel injector cleaner. Please tell me Can I use for carbureted motorcycles ?
Thanks and your videos are the best in this area.
Thanks for the update 👍,
How Many KM have you ridden RTR 200 BS3 (I also have Same and love it)
Can you pls suggest adjustable clutch and brake levers for RTR 180.
Pls
Is there a clicking sound because I am not getting tht click sound and break light is not working
Bro can you please make a video about the RCB hydraulic clutch? Please?!
It's amazing how a brake cylinder can be some beautiful!
So meticulous and impeccable video. Such invaluable information for even a layman to understand. So addicted to ur videos.
What do you guys think? Do you agree?
Do they give a matching color clutch lever in the RCB master cylinder kit too ?
Bro steel line Apache m install ho rhi h uske liye headlight remove kr install krna pdega ..vrna line short pdegi..
Can you please review the Brembo copy master cylinder, brake lever and the clutch lever that we get in the market?
Can you change the caliper to Bybre or Nissin from other OEMs
Good morning to all
Hello bro pls do a review on simtac led hazard flasher
Kind request as your video results in making a proper decision..
there is already one.
Just in case u don't know duke 390 has a radial mounted BY-BRE caliper and steel braided lines but it has a axial master cylinder, so I am confused about which radial master cylinder to buy one side I have the RCB master cylinder and other side I have the brembo RCS 19, which is best value for money, please answer my question.
Heyy there Sportztourer im one of those silent admirers, you make DIY's simple n short but very pleasing.
I need a suggestion, as i own a Honda CB Hornet 160r non-ABS, is this worth buying for my bike??
Also are there any real performance upgrades, since this engine has rebadged & reused in other 2 vehicles therez gotta be like slipper clutch or Bigger bore.
Plz reply 😟 I know you do i've been refreshing this page to see whether you've reacted to others in the comment section.
will it set for apache ,310rr...

Did anyone install rcb master cylinder for dominar 400 bs6?
Whats the cost and where to get it.
I bought the 14mm variant for my RS200 from the link below:
lrlmotors.com/
For dominar 400, you'll have to buy the 17mm master cylinder.
It is currently out of stock. You can contact them and enquire about the availability of stock.
It'll cost around 9,000 Rs.
@@BISONBHARGAVA what's the difference 14 and 17. Have no idea on it and whether any mechanic would be able to install or to be given at service center only.
@@roninr8199 installation is pretty straight forward man. Any mechanic should be able to perform it since it like installing any other master cylinder.
As for the difference between 14mm and 17mm, it's the master cylinder piston diameter.
For motorcycles upto 250cc, RCB 14mm is recommended for optimum performance.
For 300cc and above, RCB 17mm is recommended.
Hope I've answered your questions well. Cheers.
@@BISONBHARGAVA thanks a lot for info 🙏. Was seeing some videos and are you experiencing vibrations? Also price is double or triple. Looks like they are imported from Malaysia.
@@roninr8199 I haven't had any issues whatsoever with the master cylinder man. No vibrations. It's been performing fantastically.
As for the price, I found it reasonable. The price might be double as it is imported. But, LRL motors is listed as the official importer for India on the RCB website. So, we'll be getting the original product for the price.
You should use a steal breaded brake lines. It helps in good braking.
He tried but the break line of 220f became bit small for his bike
Watch his video where he tried to install Steel Braided line of pulser but failed as it was short.
does this mod void the warranty?
can a rtr 160 4v bs6 maintain 100kmph for straight 1 hr ? also how do we know engine is overheating or not ? is there any indicator in console for rtr's?
What about using steel breaded break llines
Bro please provide the link of lever
Sir can we install this master cylinder setup in apache RTR 160 4v BS4 variant ??
Bade bhai, mein apni ntorq ki service krne waala hu uske castrol 80w90 gear oil daalne wala hu ye batao ki Ntorq k manual m likha h use engine oil gear oil...
What was braking pad change period after one year ???
I know it depends on rider ...but general period to change ??1 year or one and half
Hi bhai, I see a problem with my RCB master cylinder. When I leave my bike for sometime without running, I m losing brake pressure. But once I start riding after about 5 to 10mins with repeated pressing of brake lever the brake pressure returns and brakes start performing properly. Can you tell what might be the issue with my master cylinder?
This seems to be an issue due to presence of air in the system. Try to get the system bleeded out of air.
@@thesportztourer Okay so you mean there might be air in the system and when left without use for sometime it is accumulating together and creating brake pressure loss. But after repeated pressing of lever it is spread out due to which brake pressure returns. If that is the case then let me try bleeding during the weekends. Thanks for your input. Will get back with the update.
Hi Brother, updating after following your suggestion. Indeed it was due to Air in the system. I 1st bled the caliper side and there was no air. However when I bled the master cylinder side there was huge amount of air in the system that came out. Not sure why and how it entered, probably during installation I may have not bleed it properly. But glad the brakes are now back to perfect. Thanks for your suggestion.
So happy to know that the issue is fixed. You resolved it like a true enthusiast and found the root cause.
Ride safe.
Install rcb teflon brake hose
I have been using RCB on my Duke 390 2015 model, and the difference is huge..
RCB also sells steel braided,teflon coated brake hose too right? Would you try them in the future?
Get yourself a RR 310
i have been using the 14mm piston version on my aprilia rs125. it works as well as the stock Brembo unit, if not better.
Also see if the duke 200's brake line is long enough.
Keep up the good work buddy.
Try using steel braided brake pipe, I think it will improve the braking.
how about rcb e2?
Hi bro is it good if we install rcb radial master on new apache rtr 200 4v
How much it cost?
Show ur face
Bro Do switch to Steel braided brake lines you will feel the difference for sure
Sir can you suggest something for dominar's rear brake performance
Can we use this rcb setup for rtr200 4 v dual abs version?
What is your opinion about steel brake lines for RTR 200?
I lost my friends so please be safe 🙏🙏
I lost my relative yesterday due to lack of oxygen in Delhi 😒
God bless all departed souls 🙏
@@roninr8199 same in Ahmedabad 🙏
Can we install abs on non abs RTR200?
I have the non abs one!!!
Hey which lubricant do you use for caliper guide pins
Good video bro.. ❤️
Is replacing the original clutch with hydraulic clutch a good idea?
Can the step braking levers of bs6 be used on bs4 bike?
Do you plan to put steel braided lines back?
I've also been using the RCB radial master cylinder on my RS200 for the past 9 months.
I've run it with Liquy Moly DOT 5.1 brake fluid and Vesrah ceramic brake pads.
One finger braking all the way with the ceramic brake pads providing excellent bite.
I upgraded to this system because the ABS on the RS200 robs a lot of the braking feel and feedback.
I've ridden thruough harsh monsoon and summer. So, there's been discolouration on the master cylinder and looks a bit dull. Which is good thing because as the red colour gets lighter, it gets closer to my bike's black colour.... Ha ha.!
You can try the ceramic brake pads for more brake bite and feel.
It's available in LRL motors website. Cheers.
Brother what is life of ceramic break pads..?
And also I read somewhere they mentioned ceramic breakpads need bit of warm up to works properly is that true..?
Will it be able to fit for royal Enfield electra
@@sundhar6800 @sundhar dichpally hey man. I think the ceramic pads lasted me around 3000 odd kilometres.
Note that I ride fast and my braking will be hard (as you can see from my TH-cam videos). Hence, the brake pad wear will also be fast because of that. If you ride sensibly, the pads will last longer.
As for the pads warming up, I always start slow when I ride so that both tyres and brake pads get to temperature.
I can say that the pads bite well when cold, but they bite excellently when warmed up.
Hope I've answered your questions man. Cheers!
@@parthasarathy5450 hey man. Are you asking about the ceramic pads or the RCB master cylinder?
@@BISONBHARGAVA rcb master cylinder
Go for nissin pads from karizma,this small change may satisfy u.
Happy miles!!
Does it fit on the stock caliper of the RTR200?
What about clutch lever??
Brembo is much better than this and cheap
I've run the RCB 14mm master cylinder on my RS200 for the past 9 months and it has been excellent!
I will definitely agree that brembo is better as it is a benchmark. But, RCB is also a parts supplier for Moto GP teams.
If they're good enough for Moto GP, they should be good enough for the streets.
Also, RCB is more affordable as compared to Brembo.
@@BISONBHARGAVA well aap ka rcb 7000 ka hai aur brembo 4500 ka
@@nishchalsharma4100 you know that the 4000 Rs Brembo master cylinder is a fake one right? It is a replica of the original.
Brembo RCS 15 original costs around 20,000+ Rs.
@@BISONBHARGAVA ab bhai real ya fake, kon sa rcb hi itna accha hai aur mehnga bhi hai.
Bruh. I think you're mistaking the first copy for a brembo original. Brembo original costs upwards of ₹20k. RCB is much cheaper and value for money
That was 🔥🔥🔥
