To access the master cylinder cover, remove the left hand side high beam headlight.
You can then remove the cover screws by using a short screwdriver.

Clean the master cylinder casing and caliper casting and fittings. This will prevent dirt
from contaminating the brake system. Contaminants in the brake fluid can damage
components or cause premature wear to them. This will result in a loss of braking
effectiveness.
8. Reinstall the 4 socket head bolts which hold the caliper assembly together. Use blue
LOCTITE on the threads of the fasteners. Torque the bolts to the specified torque.
