so i was fixing up my 2013 ybr 125s brakes, i had to top up the brake fluid.
i took the rubber gasket thing out and it has swollen so much that it wont fit back in.
is it a universal thing i can buy? because i cant find one for sale for my ybr, just the whole master cylinder.
i tried instant gasket, but the fluid just melted it.
also is it normal for that thing to swell up?

Just checking, you realise its a bellows arrangement and needs folding before refitting?

Did you use any 'stuff' to clean the rubber with anything?

The materials used in many brake systems are sensitive to certain compounds.
