Cool! is it nice there?
can you show a photo or link a parts diagram to show the part and do you have a service manual?

Is it a Nisin 4 piston calliper ? non abs

oh, the linked brake kind of secondary master, can you buy the rebuild parts from Honda,
or is used a good solution for that too. You can rebuild them if it's not physically damaged or the aluminum parts corroded, its messy and not easy.
carlsalter.com has a free service manual download for the VFR800FI Interceptor if that is of any value to you

Yes, I think that's correct.

A photo of how to disassemble would be very useful

Parts manual exploded diagram is your friend, it's also handy for putting things back together in the right order, there is about 6 tiny parts to a brake piston master.

Expert on 5th gen linked brakes/slave master cylinder needed

My rear centre piston was locking up and not retracting (piston rebuild glides in and out when dry). I suspect it is a problem in the SMC or PCV. SMC piston moves freely and not leaking. The upper port with a green valve in is operating as a one way flow. Is this correct? How would the pressure f...

I just decided,
I don't want to own a motorcycle with a linked brake system. That's one ugly setup.
... the rest of the bike is very nice

Welcome.

Hej, I lived in Stockholm for 4 years in the 90s. Never made it to Norway, but I miss Scandinavia.

Welcome.

Get rid of the linked system. Just run stainless steel lines from the master cylinder direct to the calipers.

A long way from the GTA, but welcome none the less.

Glad you said that, I was going to suggest putting a nice set of custom Brembo's front and back and trash the experi mental brake system. But it sounds expensive.
