Re: GSXR parts
Sounds like the dust seals are not slipping across the piston.
Are you sure the piston is healthy? A little bump could make it pick the dust seal up. Myself and a local mechanic (with 100k miles + of experience), found that on tokicos like ours there was no harm done by leaving the dust seals out and packing the recesses with red rubber grease...

Re: GSXR parts
Had thought about trying this. The dust seals *seem* to be fine, and the pistons are absolutely fine apart from a tiny bit of corrosion on the very lip of it, which never touches the seals. I'll take the dust ones out tomorrow and see how it goes.

Re: GSXR parts
You sure the seal grooves are clear?

Re: GSXR parts
Pretty sure. Tomorrow I'm going to hammer an old screwdriver into an angled scraper to make certain, but I spent ages cleaning the old white crud out of them the first time I stripped them. If they're completely clear I'll leave the dust seals out and pack with red rubber grease and see how I get on.
