Easy way to check master cylinder on RS

[Orange monster]

Just thought I would pass on an easy way I found to check the master cylinder on the RS and RS-S models today. You can take your iPhone or similar device and slide it in the slot on the right side of the bike and take a picture of it. This requires no plastic panel removal and literally takes 2 minutes at most. Here are my results.

Your MC looks good!!!! The RS has open vents to let the heat out... Correct?

I use this trick all the time for model # notes or part # especially if you can't get the angle to read them plus you can expand them if needed to read plus they can be saved without notes to lose

Yes that is correct, the RS and RS-S still have the vents on both sides of the bike.

Also the RS's don't have a electric parking brake actuator. This leaves a big opening for air to flow past the right side of the engine.
