    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.

GS1100 Front Master Cylinder Rebuild Woes

  • Thread starter Thread starter AOD
  • Start date Start date
Update! I had an older wiser friend stop by tonight and we went through my master cylinder. Since it wasn't building any pressure and it was dripping out the hole in the bottom of the unit, I prety much narrowed it down.

My error came in that I had the spring and seal unit #2 and #3 installed backwards. I had the rubber seal pushed in first...which meant it was not doing anything.

What we decided was that part #7 installed into part #6 with the cup facing inward. The Suzuki service manual shows the cup unit as one assembly and when #6 is installed into #7 it fits perfectly.

The result...my front brake built pressure in a hurry and is really solid now. I have the lever tied back and the cap loose tonight trying to work any bubbles upwards.

Thanks to all who helped on here with this. If anyone reads this in the future and needs help, don't hesitate to send me a PM or email. I'll help how I can. :)
