    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.

Some brake fluid around inner rotor

Just checked the inside of the left front brake rotor of my 79 GS1000E which is white powder coated and there is a very thin film of oil on it. Have removed the caliper and the rubber boot looks to be dry, there was just a minimal amount of fluid on the inside of the inner pad. Just wondering what my next plan of attack should be, would appreciate your thoughts.
 
Rinse it with water. If it comes off, it's brake fluid. If it's still there, it's probably from the fork seals like Max said.
 
Thanks for the answers guys, the thin film of oil is on the opposite rotor to the leaky fork seal, so not related. It is odd because the dust seal is dry
 
banjo bolt union weeping? may only weep under pressure. wipe it all dead dry, wrap a paper towel (kitchen roll) round it and tie the brake lever on with a cable tie. leave for 15-20 minutes and see if towel is wet.........
