GS850G front master cylinder piston

[Guest]

Does anybody have a clear photo of how the piston goes together on a 1981 GS850g front master cylinder, my book is away with the guy rebuilding my motor, and the Suzuki microfiche only shows a blurred mess.
i have a new kit to put in(part number 59600-45831) and the Clymer book is no help. And I've tried downloading a manual for it from the 750cc models to the 1000cc models and the downloads fail after the fourth attempt.
cheers.

Ure engine guy has to borrow a book to do a GS engine? OMG Hope it all works out

Thanks Bwringer, I actually did it on the spot when the guy doing my motor rocked up to his workshop, and I retreived my book. All went well and we needed four fingers to get that circlip back in. It's back on the bike and all's good.
while I was waiting I made up some bushes to replace that ugly bolt that the brake and clutch handle swivels on, out of stainless.
And just found out the cam chain tensioner is missing from the box that came back from the Suzuki dealer, (long story). Buggered if I'm paying for lost parts, I've already bought a oil gear for the motor that was missing.
thanks again.

What's wrong with that?

Unless the only engines he works on are GS engines, he probably has hundreds (thousands?) of specifications running through his head. Even if he only works on GS engines, there are still many differences to keep track of.

Personally, I applaud him for actually referring to a printed spec sheet.
