    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.

GS1100ES front master cylinder question. Piston stuck!

My buddy is doing a nice wholesale resto on a super clean ES we found last year and he is wisely re-doing the brakes. Been easy-peasey except for the front piston in the master cylinder. He got the snap ring out (took some expensive new NN pliers mind you) and the washer but the piston won't come out. Not jammed, it just moves a bit and clunks to a stop. Are we missing something? Suzuki shop manual does not indicate any reSon it should not freely pull out after clip and washer are removed. There's just that rubber seal left but that should not be holding up things.

Anyone? If no one has any answer I guess he'll build some some sort of tool or puller.
