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.
When was the last time you cleaned the master cylinder and especially the return hole? How about the caliper itself?

Thanks guys - just bought the bike a month ago and am doing a tear down/clean up. Doesn't sound too difficult ....................
Make sure that when you clean out that return port that you use a small wire strand from something like an 18 gauge wire to poke through it. Nothing else is small enough. If you don't see the wire going through into the MC, you'll want to get someone to drill you a new hole in that same position of the same size (do a search on my threads to find out what I'm talking about). I had a front MC that Suzuki for some reason never drilled out the return port hole. It caused my front brakes to lock up a couple of times before I finally found out why.
