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.

After extended soaking in Liquid Wrench I was finally able to free the circlip and remove the piston from the '78 GS750 front MC. I was certainly shocked to see a clean, shiny rust-free barrel. The piston, spring, and rubber cups were quite another story. Looking at the onlin part fische, I see that the piston assembly is available, but I cannot tell from the picture if this includes the spring and attached rubber cup on the end. This I managed to destroy in the removal process. Does anyone know if all the necessary pieces come with the piston assembly? If not, any ideas where I can find a spring and rubber cup?

Thanks,
rickt
 
Came with the kit for the 450. 750 "should" be the same.
 
It comes with piston with rubber, spring, copper circle thingy and outer dust cover.
 
You want the piston/cup set. I believe yours is the same as my '79 1000 and many others.
Suzuki part number is 69600-45810. About $26 at the dealer.
 
Changed mine last year. Got an original suzuki one for about ?20 here in the UK. You get all the parts and the circlip that hold it together, so no worries if you go genuine.

Suzuki Mad
GS1000ET 1981 a little poorly at the moment
GSX1100ESD 1983 fully restored, was it that quick all those years ago?
 
Rebuilt mine a couple of months ago. I believe the Suzuki rebuild kit is part number 59600-45811 and it contains everything you need.
