I've a problem with front forks on my Z900. They are off a GPz11 and basically pump up hard under use resulting in dreadful handlebar wobbling antics on normal (potted) roads. I have long suspected the issue is with incorrectly blanked anti-dive units. I have the forks off today and sure enough the blanking plates dont have any channel in them to allow for oil flow.



Questions: should i just use the dremel to create a channel between the 2 holes? If so what size/depth?

How best to seal? I guess there is a lot of pressure coming in to play so normal gasket paper isn't going to hold back the oil. If I create a channel that connects both holes where would I get an oval shaped o ring from that goes round both holes?

hello mate will pm you a drawing of some i had made looking at those you should be able to modify them so the oil flows through the holes.i just used gasket paper from the local motor factors and it sealed it fine.
hope this helps john
