Fork Cartridge Dampers
- Race Tech's original bolt-on fork valving system for front cartridge forks
- Triple the flow area of pistons
- Put valving control on the shim stack
- Outstanding tunability; improved control, traction, plushness and bottoming resistance
- G2-R Gold Valves are dual port pistons optimize the loading of shims while improving flow and can be preloaded, freeloaded or restricted
- Complete instructions, Gold Valve pistons, valving charts, valving shims and "Technical Edge Fork Maintenance and Gold Valve Installation" video all included
Fork Seals & Bushings
Seal profile is engineered to create equal pressure in each seal lip; equalized seal pressure creates less drag and longer seal life.
Patented MAX-LIFE has a coefficient of friction up to 3 times less than the OEM seal material
Triple-lip seal design
Dyno-tested to last 3 to 4 times longer than OEM seals
Directional ribs allow seal to be installed easily
Kits include fork seals and dust wipers
Forks
Precision tolerances – The tightest in the industry. Ultra-lightweight, for reduced unsprung mass. Straight rate springs will give better control in the rough stuff. Sold in pairs.
- The .85 springs are 30% stiffer than stock DL650 springs and 21% stiffer than DL1000 springs, a great choice for most riders.
- The 1.0 springs are 50% stiffer than stock DL650 springs and 42% stiffer than DL1000 springs, a better choice for heavier or aggressive riders, heavy loads, 2-up riding, etc.
- Stock spring rates for comparison: DL650-.65 DL1000-.70
Progressive springs offer a soft initial spring rate for a plush ride. Progressively wound design provides increased resistance to bottoming as spring compresses. These springs are significantly stiffer than the wimpy stock springs.
They will make a big improvement in the front forks while still delivering a smooth ride. Sold in pairs.
The complete fork upgrade kit - Straight rate springs and Race Tech Gold Valves. Also includes a set of top quality fork seals and fork oil to complete the job. Everything you need to transform your mushy stock forks into suspension that really works.
Lowering Link
Billet aluminum lowering links. Lowers the rear suspension.
Disclaimer: Lowering the front and/or rear of your motorcycle will change the geometry and may affect the handling, use caution after making changes/adjustments.
Shock
Race Tech HP Springs have a high stiffness-to-mass ratio. In other words; the springs are light weight for their particular spring rate. This requires the finest materials and processing. Shot-peened and pre-set so they cannot sack out. All Race Tech HP Springs have the highest rate tolerances in the industry. These are the finest springs in the world-guaranteed.
- Lighter and stiffer than stock, these high quality straight rate springs are made specifically for the DL line.
- A proper rear spring will give a smoother more controlled ride.
- Available in a multitude of spring rates, one is the perfect fit for your bike and riding style.
- Stock spring is rated at 8.2 kg/mm for the DL650, and DL1000
Adapters are required for this spring.
Shock Shaft & Valving
The V-Strom suffers from poor compression damping and limp rebound damping. The Race Tech Gold Valve allows you to tune both compression and rebound valving for vastly improved performance.
- Bolt-on shock valving for riders serious about suspension performance
- Improves control, traction, plushness and bottoming resistance
- Improved, long-wearing, low-friction sealing design decreases fade
- Includes complete instructions
