Anti Dive Disconnect

[Agemax]

i have bypassed the anti dive on my GS, running UK spec 1100 katana forks.
my question is what effect, if any, would it have if i removed the plunger from the top half of the a/d unit, the one that is acted on by brake pressure. still plugging the hole on the top of the unit to stop the crap getting in?
i want to keep the units on the forks, rather than fitting a blanking plate

BTW I have a bunch of the bolts you need, so you can cap off the hole where the brake banjo bolt goes, it's a m10 1.0 pitch i believe it's about 15mm long or less.

I can sell folks some, since i had to buy a bunch to get 2. I'll make it cheap say 3 bucks with shipping.

You don't need the block-off plate if you find a threaded bolt that fits in where the banjo bolt used to go. I had to use a cut-off wheel to trim the bolt down to where it fully seated in the anti-dive body.

Use the single banjo bolt from the anti-dive body to replace the double banjo bolt on the brake caliper. They're the same size, so it's really really easy.



When asked why should one remove it...it's not needed if you use Progressive fork springs to firm up the front end.

Does anyone make a stainless brake line kit for these bikes?
My brake lever goes halfway to the bar before theres any braking action.
I might be interested in a couple of those bolts if I can't source any locally.

how much difference does the antidive make anyway. have mine disconnected but toying with the idea of making a mechanical adjuster

I read somewhere on a site dedicated to GPz 750 mods that if you disable the anti dive you either need to stiffen the springs (much like Nessism has done) or replace with Progressives or a similar product. Reason being that the stock springs were designed to work with the andti dive to keep from bottoming the forks; without the A/D the springs were too soft. Made sense to me. Be sure the bushings are in good nick also because if they are worn the fluid will seep past them, effectively disabling the anti dive. Ask me how I know this.....

here is my new set up,anti dive disconnected from brake lines but manually adjustable if required.

Does this function as a compression damping adjustment?

[Agemax]

i would think it has a smilar effect, adjusting the anti dive valve effectively makes the forks damping harder or softer

[Agemax]

no one else tried this mod?

I put a bolt in mine but it is coming out from where the original banjo bolt was. I like the way yours looks a lot better though. Those spikes look incredible.

nice mod! I want to upgrade to s/s lines and dis-connect the anti-dive. Looking into what to do. I read on here about using a bandit 1200 kit. any thoughts on this.

How has this set up worked out for you thus far. Have you been playing the with dampening via the valve? Also, are you runnin (dual) s/s braids?

It's not exactly "antidive" that is "full on", you have increased the compression damping on the fork. Doing this will reduce suspension compliance and make the ride quality rough.

but it works for me, i can reduce it if i want but thats how i like it, as so many people have said i doesnt really work anyway so i have found a setting that works just fine for me

How are the block off plates sealed

Anti dive block off plates should I make a paper gasket are what.
