Posting a picture for those who don,t know how a master cylinder works. See the pointer to (bypass port). If you adjust your pedal or brake lever too much you will push the piston too far. This will cover the return hole stopping fluid returning to master cylinder when it expands due to heat. Hope this helps. I know many of you already know this. But many do not. View attachment 138317

Steve Thanks - this is why I think the recommended free play in the manual sets too fine a margin. I think expansion in this case compounds the problem. Thanks again
