    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Compatible Front Master Cylinder

Is this a single or dual front caliper model? There should be a bore size stamped on the bottom of the master cylinder.

The first MC you linked to is a 12.7mm (1/2") bore. It would fit your bike (would have to modify the brake switch connection) but probably isn't what you want if you have dual front calipers. IIRC Suzuki used 14mm MCs for single and 5/8" (15.875mm) for dual caliper.
 
The factory parts are available part #1104333 at Bike Bandit. I would call Z1 Enterprises and see if they have it at a better price. If the cylinder is pitted it needs replacement. I think it is the same part as the GS1000. I haven't rebuilt the one on my sons' GS850G yet, but it looks the same as mine.
 
its a dual caliper bike, not sure of the size of cylinder ill have to check when i get home. Just looking for the cheapest way to get it working again.i think its just the piston that is not working for me, ill have to open it up tonight and take a look and post pictures.
 
All the duals are 5/8" bore. The master off a Kawasaki EX650 is a good fit, 5/8" bore, works well. Microswitch brake light connection (couple or thin spade connectors).

It also has a mirror mount that works with stock Suzuki mirrors & an adjustable lever.

Finally it doesn't look so modern that it sticks out like a sore thumb on our bikes...

I run one on the 78 -GS1000

Pretty cheap too....
