If more than 2 years old, consider flushing the fluid in both the front & rear brake systems.

Reason: moisture accumulation.

Your owners manual should have a note on it and the service manual will have the procedures.
It’s a ‘22, bought new in august

Kind of looks like you need a longer brake line,then you can level up the master cylinder instead of it being rotated downward. JMHO

Any handlebar mount MC I turn the bars to the high side, loosen the MC till I can level it as much as possible then fill it. Redo to get the riding angle right for your bars and preferences and go. As long as the fluid levels over the ports on the bottom it will work just fine at most angle even steep ones.

I think I’m good, I found a diagram that shows where the pickup ports are in the plunger and they’re way more towards the grip end than I thought, thanks tho. I took it for a ride today and everything felt kosher
