    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Have an 82 GS1100EZ and the front MC when applying the front lever I hear a hissing sound, so I'am looking for a rebuild kit for the MC, anyone know of where I might find this
 
If we can assume that the hissing sound occurs when brake is applied while moving it is probably the sound you get from slotted discs. The master cylinder won't make any noise on it's own that I am aware of.:confused:
 
Bike not moving, sitting still on center stand that being said does any know of how I can get a kit to rebuild the front MC

Z1Enterprises.com may carry them. Do yourself a favor if you have the funds, and since you'll basically have to tear the system down anyway, rebuild and clean your calipers and replace the lines with stainless (available at Z1 as well). Massive difference in braking performance.
Take care to inspect the bore for pitting/scoring. If it has it, it's trash. Also assure you clean the tiny pressure return port out as well.
Good luck!
 
Original suzuki brake system parts are highly recommend. Aftermarket K&L brake parts, as sold by places like Z1, are crap in comparison.
