The front brake master cylinder is leaking brake fluid slowly. This was first recognized by me in my garage ~8 weeks ago Included is a photo from of a leak-stain on the exhaust header that I presumed was from servicing in the dealership showroom as taken by my transporter.

There is noticeable fluid loss and corrosion around the C-type spring clamp where the separate, remote reservoir connects into the master cylinder input. This does not appear to be where the leak is emanating from however. The leak appears to be coming from the master cylinder seal around the plunger mechanism. The issue was first noticed as I was preparing to wash the bike and witnessed a small drip on my fuel tank where the handlebars were turned left with the brake side grip in the 'high side' position.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
