    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.

Replaced lines and rebuilt calipers, still spongy

Hi gang,


I am at a loss on this 80 GS750E. I rebuilt the calipers completely, replaced all the brake lines with SS, bled until there was no air bubbles, but they are still stupid spongy up front. The back brake finally come around when I replaced the line, and is now working about 90%(vast improvement).

The only part left that has not been replaced is the master. It is the original. What would a master rebuild kit do? I am just curious about whether I should go that route or just replace the whole master cylinder with a new one.

Any ideas?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

put a new seal kit in the M/C. if it is original then it will be old and tired, and probably wont be able to provide the pressure needed to cope with the rest of the rebuilt system.

many kits are available but most members here will tell you to use genuine Suzuki kits only.
i, however have had success with the cheaper aftermarket kits. the choice is yours.
 
Good looking out guys thank you. I will look into the rebuild kit.

Cheers
