CRF250L: 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

Includes all components needed to rebuild you forks.

• Inner and outer bushings
• Oil and dust seals
• All necessary o-rings

Patented fork seal features a balanced 3 lip design that evenly distributes the pressure reducing operating temperature, wear and friction

Custom Elastomer Fork Seals have been tested to outlast OEM fork seals. Extends typical seal life by 3 to 5 times over OEM seals

Stiction (friction) measures from 1/3 to 1/2 less than OEM seals for smoother fork action

Lower Stiction, Longer Life! It doesn’t get any better than this!

Plus, the only complete line of dust wipers! Wipers should be replaced with the fork seals to assure peak performance. 

Kit includes Fork Seals and dust wipers.

 

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

An excellent replacement for the stock fork boots. These are great for protection from dirt, rocks and other contaminants. These boots utilize the latest advances in material technology to adapt to fork and styling demands. These high quality fork boots are 1/4 the price of the OEM factory replacements.

Choose black, blue, red or yellow.

Helps protect vulnerable fork tube and seal from dust, dirt, and corrosive elements. Hook & loop (Velcro) fastening on back side makes installation or removal for cleaning a breeze.

Because the stock shock cannot be rebuilt and offers insufficient adjustment, Race Tech developed a bolt on replacement shock to cure an under sprung and under-damped stock setup.

Race Tech's G3-S Custom Series Shocks are truly custom with spring rates and valving picked specific to each rider. Each shock is built to order featuring Gold Valves to guarantee a plush feel and great bottoming resistance while also providing more traction than any other setup on the market.

Please include your riding weight, skill level, and type of riding in the order comments.

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.

Innovative design makes tool easier and more secure to use than old fashioned pin-aligned drivers

• Knurled anodized aluminum locking ring
• Perfectly weighted to drive seals
• Carbon steel body halves

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.

• Allows placing bearing needles on bearing race while greasing linkage bearings
