CRF250L Rally: Suspension

In stock form, the forks, featuring a single spring design are under sprung for any rider over 100 pounds. With limited travel, adding a stiffer spring in the right leg only per the stock design was not a viable option.

Race Tech instead offers a Hi-Performance Spring Kit that adds a stiffer spring to the other fork. (The overall spring rate in the forks is the average spring rate between both legs.) This upgrade will make a drastic improvement in handling for most riders.

0.50KG/MM KIT

• Race Tech's original bolt-on fork valving system for front cartridge forks
• Triple the flow area of stock pistons
• Put valving control on the shim stack
• Outstanding tunability; improved control, traction, plushness and bottoming resistance
• Complete instructions, Gold Valve pistons, valving charts, valving shims and "Technical Edge
• Fork Maintenance and Gold Valve Installation" video all included

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

Replacement shock link bearings and seals. One kits has all you need to get the job done right. Restores your linkage to new condition for better suspension control and smoother action.

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.

Based on the wildly popular Race Tech Suspension Seminars taught by Paul Thede around the world, this step-by-step guide shows riders how to make their bikes handle like the pros. Thede gives the lowdown on all types of suspension, including cartridge and non-cartridge forks as well as dual-chamber and nitrogen-charged shocks.

The three forces of suspension, testing procedures, even the black arts of chassis geometry: Thede explains it all. The book provides step-by-step photos of suspension disassembly and assembly as well as a detailed troubleshooting guide for dirt, street and track.

Showa removed the schrader valve on many newer rear shocks. Now you need a needle to recharge your shock with nitrogen after a rebuild. Race Tech built this unit just for that job.

The features of this tool include 300 psi capacity, bleeder valve and T-handle plunger pin chuck. Swivel chuck has a 12" flexible hose. Comes complete with instructions, carrying box and Schrader valve extension (required on some Showa shocks). Nitrogen bottles available at any welding supply house.

Makes installation of your linkage bearings much easier. Also simplifies maintenance of those bearings.
