recomissioning

[bomberone]

Just looking at the ever increasing list of jobs to recomission my old Kat.. Noticed on the Kona dial a rides which were always ok,  the bump stops have disintegrated.. Can these be stripped & repaired does anyone know?  Also the front master cylinder has shat itself and scarred the original fairing paintwork - dammit.

Koni are now called Ikon, so they're probably the people to contact. Unless you bottom out a lot it probably won't make that much difference though. The bump stop on my rear shock disintegrated a few years back and I have never noticed any problem at all. If it's stock master cylinder and isn't a complete mess inside (damaged bore) then you should be able to get a rebuild kit from Suzuki dealers.

That's a good call, just to remove the broken bumpstops..  Master cylinder looks stock, alloy unpainted, never any trouble when it was in use.. I see there's a number of repair kits on fleabay but will see what Suzuki can offer first.. Cheers
