Has anyone had problems with the rear master cylinder rubbing on the swingarm? i have a 2011 ec250----any fix for it?

Your master cilinder mounts are slighty bend?

I think it rubs when braking hard with the swing arm compressed. I think they all do it to some degree. Might be able to bend the master cylinder tabs a bit to get more clearance, I have never got round to looking into it any further.

My 2010 has never rubbed the swing arm. I'd have a look at spacing the mc away from the swingarm a bit either with some washers/shims and/or bending the mount a bit.

I did however have the actual brake line rub against the engine case which was un cool.

On mine, the cotter pin for the master cylinder plunger was rubbing the swing arm. Minor fix.
