GSX750E3 Front fork OH and anti-nose dive cancel

Well, here’s a beautiful GSX750E3. To be honest, I’m not very familiar with the GSX line (*´;ω;`*)

Beco? Reading axle? That’s about the level of information I have.
Discontinued parts are all over the place! Before I start work, I do cross my fingers, but…
(・´з`・)

(´∀`*)ウフフ The big sale once a year—Amazon Prime Day 7/12 and 13

First, I fell into hell…a typo (*´ω`*)
There’s a cap bolt in here that I don’t remember ordering? What’s going on…

Looking at the parts list…seriously? A typo?
I’m really at my wit’s end.

This is the condition…
We usually replace studs, but miraculously we had stock~amazing

I’m disassembling it thoroughly, max style (*^-^*)

It’s pretty nicely dirty. The diaphragm of this anti-nose dive itself is at its limit and fluid is leaking out lately.
Removal is definitely the better option.

The oil was in this kind of condition (^_-)-☆

A standard part like this costs a scary amount of money.

SUZUKI Part number [ 51123-45420 ] Washer 2,000 yen/piece × 2 pieces
SUZUKI Part number [ 51125-45420 ] Spring, leaf 1,200 yen/piece × 4 pieces

If you just look up the part number and order, you end up in trouble…

The surface is buffed, but the hidden spots are rough…should I leave it as is or clean it up? I was torn, thinking maybe I could buff it later anyway, so I forced a thorough cleaning.

That’s how it is.
It gets clean quickly with some elbow grease, but buffing gets dull fast, so leaving it as is keeps it looking good longer.

The inner tube runout wasn’t a problem.

When you insert the stud, the seating surface lifts, so chamfering it first makes things smooth.

We polish and finish the inner tube to make it move smoothly—that means less leaking.

Left is front, right is rear.

When it’s shiny, the seal seems to stick, but when you hone it, the seal action feels smoother. It’s like a dimple effect, you could say.
That’s the kind of thing we’re going for.

Cylinder bolts should be replaced while they’re still accessible—that’s a must.

These ones are still okay, but bolts that are in the flow path are a real pain…
By the way, it’s M10-P1.00 (*´ω`*)—like a bicycle! (*laughs*)

Oil seal 51153-45420 is discontinued, so I thought maybe a Honda one would work, but the overall thickness was too great and it didn’t fit ( ;∀;)

So for now I’ve done a temporary assembly and put it on hold…..Things just aren’t going well…really.
