    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Bleeding the anti dive/ fork

Hi all!
When removing the anti dive component from the front forks of my 82 katana 1100 I lost some oil. I'm wondering about replacing the oil- is it brake fluid or fork oil. If it is brake fluid and I put it in through the brake reservoir I'm wondering if I will get air trapped inside the fork as the connection point on the fork is farther from the reservoir than the bleed screw. I'm not quite sure how the anti dive system works so any input will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
 
if you removed the antidive unit from the fork leg, with out undoing the banjo bolt on the brake line then the oil leaked out will just be fork oil. you need tor really drain all the oil out the fork leg now and refill to the correct level
 
Thanks. The fork oil probably hasn't been changed ever so its due for new oil anyway. I've never serviced forks before so I'll search the old threads for info. If anyone has a link to the procedure that would be great too.
