Todd the rear M/Cyl is in a bad spot, very susceptible to water and dirt ingress. I fill under the rubber boot with silicone grease ( I now use the really heavy stuff used on the K75's steering damper ), it helps keep the crap out.

Today I rebuilt the master cylinder on the front.I pulled apart the airbox and found the hose for the outlet to air collector had a big hole. I glued it shut (temporary) and it runs a lot better! Idles great. Gonna ride it in tomorrow to work!

Mine is atleast a year out from it's test fire-up, and I'm alread anxious. Let's see here... What, with wiring, fuel, air, sensitive electrics?

I'm sure every last detail will be dead-on perfect.

I've been chasing afront Master cylinder leak. I have taken apart and cleaned the bore, the plunger looks great. I replaced the o ring where the reservoir meets cylinder  and  replaced cover seal. I still have a drip that accumulates on the bolt holding the lever on. I have looked and dont see any other way it could be leaking. Rebuild?
Thanks

Probably, todd. 😢 Beemer Boneyard has the components but don't rule out divine intervention yet. Give it a day.

If it isn't hiding in the bore then you've got a weird market for stolen goods out there. Well, it seems like you're on the right track for repair.

Found the washer, put it back in place and no more leak! Imagine that!
