Just yesterday I fixed the problem with my wife's Yamaha where the front brake was binding and getting hot and stuck (fixed by throwing water on it and riding home without using the front brake) I thought that the cause was in the calliper but it turned out it was caused by the master cylinder. So, replaced the parts needed and all good. Now got me thinking if I should refresh the master cylinder(s) on my 2008 KLR which have never been touched and I have a friend coming from the US next month (can't get parts in the country where I live) so an opportunity to get the parts...thoughts?

If you put on new disc and pads they need some miles to seat to each other. Only then will you have the "full deceleration" of the OEM brake. The MC will not really effect this other than possibly requiring more force unless its that worn that it will not hold pressure if you pull on it hard and hold on.
Often helps some to lube the lever pivot (is it bone dry?) and the contact between the lever and the MC piston. But again this will just reduce friction and thus reduce the force necessary to pull the lever.
