    Front master cylinder 82 GS650G Model Z tricks?

    I had one that was stuck like that and the what I had to do was to drill a hole in the master cyl at the opposite end of the bore to drive out the piston assy. Once all cleaned up I tapped it 1/8 pipe thread and put a allen head brass plug to seal it. Now no sweat if it happens again.

    1980 gs550e front master cylinder issues

    If the master cyl is stuck and you can't get it apart you need to drill a hole through the center of the bore out the blind end so you can drive out the piston assy with a punch. Then tap the hole for a 1/8 " pipe plug it's good to go, also if the bore is pitted consider having the m/c sleeved.
