Deka etx16l. Cheaper than the orange one, fits nicely. I just changed my last one out @ 7-8 years. Just because...it was still working. Time for another one. 8.5 years this one lasted. :shock: :!: I replaced it with a 400CCA Deka. A tad taller, certainly larger but still able to slide in from the r...

I recognise the gunge in the end too. I wonder if that indicates a slight leakage past the seals. Whatever, everything seems in good condition once cleaned up so it's going back as it is. I was wondering the same thing. Replacing the seal would be simple enough. However it only seems available with...

:D Brookes garage to the rescue. What a great resource his stuff is. :D https://brook.reams.me/bmw-motorcycle-rebuilds/1983-bmw-r100rs-rebuild-project-index/34-bmw-1983-r100rs-disassemble-inspect-rebuild-master-cylinders/ There is a front dust seal and large flat washer that are installed in the thr...

My R100RS is an 11/1981 build. Handlebar mounted master cylinder, 13mm, changed from 15mm many years ago with a great improvement to feel. The lever travel had diminished recently, but still ok, so I removed the master cylinder to investigate. The master cylinder looked good, and I ensured the hole...

Thanks @SteveD, helped me find a poor ground from the D- brush due to the cable being soldered too short and holding the brush off the rotor. Posts like this save a lot of time and money on troubleshooting and help us getting our bikes back on the road where they should be. Thanks a lot for taking ...

Finally finished reassembling the RS (rear end yesterday) and it's ready to test ride.
The shed got a minor tidy up as stuff got put away! Still too messy though.

A clean and a couple of coats of caliper paint and they'll harden for a week or so until I fiddle further. https://photos.smugmug.com/Brembo-F08-rebuild/BMW-brakes/i-TvSnkLL/0/DNL36PL7pvW96XktN58r2j8wZThhxSwx2M2zXd6J9/XL/2024042621044193-9148985334153116451-XL.jpg What's so different about caliper ...

+1 what Steved said. FWIW - my pistons were OK, but there was sludge in the caliper. Use only brake fluid to clean inside (some alcohol is alright but no mineral spirits, gas, etc.). I reinstalled my trans last week then stopped to replace the rear brake hose. I noticed the piston seal had herniate...
