Description
RMS, Italy, is a prolific manufacturer of OEM quality aftermarket parts for many scooter brands, including Vespa Vintage and Vespa Modern parts. Their catalogue is extensive, with equipment made for even the most vintage models.
Here's the RMS Brake Cylinder (rear) Vespa Cosa 125 - 200cc, OEM quality brake master cylinder for controlling the rear brake of your Vespa.
Brakes are the single most important safety feature of your set-up, so don't forget to check them on a regular basis. As soon as braking starts to feel spongy or you notice a loss in stopping power, you'll need to take action and replace the worn brake components.
Measurements and connections are identical to original master cylinder, simply swap.- Type: VLR1T-VLR-VSR1

Brake pump
The brake pump or brake master cylinder is directly connected to the brake, i.e. this is where the pressure is transmitted to the brake caliper when you press the brake lever or brake pedal.
If the brake pump is defective, this is not necessarily noticeable by leaking brake fluid, but by the fact that the brake becomes spongy and soft, which significantly reduces the braking performance.
How to Overhaul a brake pump
For inexpensive brake cylinder repairs, we carry repair kits that include gaskets and all the necessary materials for overhauling and repairing the master cylinder.
You will need to completely disassemble the brake cylinder, disconnect it from the brake hose and remove all clips, snap rings and bolts to remove the seals.
If you can't find a repair kit that fits your model, or if overhauling is too much work for you, you can also buy a complete brake master cylidner in OEM quality, a universal brake pump, or even a racing brake cylinder.
Changing the brake pump
To remove the brake pump, simply disconnect it from the brake line by removing the banjo bolt.
Do not lose the copper washers (and while you're at it check them and replace them if necessary) in order to reattach them later on both sides of the banjo bolt.
Then open the reservoir, fill it with brake fluid and bleed the system.
