A lever assembly and a master cylinder are provided. The lever assembly
includes a lever and an adjuster mechanism that changes the mechanical
advantage of the lever. The reach of the lever relative to a handlebar
can be adjusted. Both the mechanical advantage and reach of the lever can
be adjusted without tools and while a vehicle including the same is
operated. The master cylinder includes a reservoir in a clamp area. A
reservoir bladder fits into the reservoir. A cover encloses the bladder
and includes a vent opening making the bladder at atmospheric pressure
such that air can move into the bladder and out of the bladder. The
master cylinder can be bled without reorienting the master cylinder. A
method of adjusting a mechanical advantage of a lever and a method of
bleeding a braking system without reorienting the master cylinder are
also provided.
