    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.

Mystery part

I'm reassembling the master cylinders for my 1981 650GL and have a mystery part remaining.

The mystery part:


It was with the pile of parts from the rear master cylinder but "could" belong to the front master, or maybe even the callipers. I was working and got distracted, dropped the part and put it back on the bench without realizing which pile it came from. It looks like it may fit into the end of the spring that goes into the cylinder, but none of the fiche drawings show that part. Can anybody help?

Thanks!

Aha! That makes sense - the front calipers did not have one but the rear did.

Thanks!

This is a good example of why you should include something common for scale when posting pics of mystery parts.

For some reason, my weird brain thought that thing was about an inch across, and I was utterly baffled. A penny in the photo would have been helpful... :D

Good call. I'll do that from now on.
