suzuki. master cylinder recall

saved me the trouble, thanks. :up: i couldnt post it from my phone and just sat down at the laptop to post it up.

 

Yeah, I would have to think the whole frame bracing piece is a little bit different logistically. Although I did see some posts from a guy overseas on GDC that apparently was able to somehow source the brace himself. Perhaps he worked at the dealership.

 

I guess on 10-28 we will know for sure... Still no TSB put out...

 

It says in the article there that they'll replace the MC and brake fluid. For the guys with SS race bikes you think they'll spring for the SRF brake fluid that we're all using

 

Of course it was. You don't honestly think $85 dollar a bottle brake fluid truly fixed anything do you?

 

Castrol's bottom line sure benefited.

 

Good I have two bikes in the shop that fall under the recall.

'11 GSXR750
'11 GSXR1000

Doubt it will cure the real issues with the master cylinder.

Actually I have owned several of each model of the affected years. Always new the part was a pos. Just got used to no front brakes after 5 laps

 

I did my own frame recall in my dealers shop. I actually did two because the dealer was a big 4 wheeler outfit and had no idea how to work on a Sportbike. I simply watched the Suzuki video, used their tools and had them both done in no time. I don't deal with that dealer these days but the other close dealer will probably end up being the same deal. As soon as I walk in the door I am intantly the most knowledgeable guy in the shop.

 

it sure as hell didnt for anyone i know.

 

Can someone explain how it took this long to address the problem? How could they keep putting a garbage part on for almost 10 years knowing that it did not work properly and then do a recall after that 10 years?

 

Perhaps the corrosion (as indicated in the notice) was not evident until after 10 years?

no. the old school trick was to vent your drum.

 

SS legal?

 

Someone will have to explain to me the thermal dissipation dynamics before I buy the thought process of enlarging the MC bore as the cure for brake fade. I'm not buying it.

Enlarging the bore would increase the amount of pressure applied at the caliper thus causing more heat. How does that fix the issue?

 

Preferably. Just give my vin# and exchange the parts. I've made it this long without a dealer monkey touching my bike and I don't relish the idea.

 

Yeah still not the cure but a way to manage the problem.
