Oh! Tom Cruise too… GPZ900R Fork OH Handlebar Replacement and More

Am I overthinking the initial approach to the work?
Parts issues these days are really tough

Once you start disassembling
there are many cases like this.
Planning and imagination are extremely important

So let’s go

Suspension
Both front and rear are bouncy

The anti-dive isn’t working either
Of course.
Even with pressurization it doesn’t help…
So I’ll have to make various changes without it
Wait a minute.

Mechanical anti-dive
A mechanism that just pushes with hydraulic pressure
Could the passage be blocked?
Questions started coming up…

Let’s try changing the fluid for now.
Well, at first glance, it doesn’t look bad…

My expectations are plummeting
But just to be safe, just to be safe

Glug glug~

When you change the fluid
it makes a really stiff sound…
The fluid had gelled up and clogged!

All the left and right nipples (6 locations)
When replaced…

Thump thump! It works! Perfect.
Result
It was just a blocked passage….
Of course with hydraulic pressure
the anti-dive piston operation was also confirmed.
Glad it worked out

Since the front becomes unstable when disassembled
I’m leaving it off for now.

And yet
the GPZ900R upper cowl serviceability
has been like this from the start…
it’s really not good at all.

The mirror mounting
is a blind nut…
If it were my bike I’d either weld the nut or
use a threaded plate for mounting.

To be continued (*´ω`*)
