    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. 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.

Has anyone rebuilt the Anti-Dive Units.

The modulators, as Suzuki calls them.

After all this time they may be a little gummy. In the manual Suzuki calls them replaceable; non-repairable. The parts fiche shows individual parts, but (used to be) sold only as a complete unit for the brake and the fork oil side.

Yes, I do know all about having no brake hose to the units so they sleep, or using a grooved block-off plate. Decades ago been there, done that, didn't like it
 
Good thing you ride an old bike. Anti dive was discontinued by the OEM's 20 years ago.
 
You can rebuild certain models, basically clean them out and replace all the o-rings. Kind of a PIA though...

They are not going to be any more or less effective "rebuilt" than 28 years old and not rebuilt. Flush em out so your fork oil does not get negitively contaminated, and just ride !
