CRF450L: Suspension

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.

Stock Spring Rate: 0.51kg/mm

Combo Kits include both Compression as well as Rebound/Mid-Valve Kits with a significant cost savings over purchasing these kits separately. In the "good 'ole days" we got away with just Compression Valving improvements. However, Rebound/Mid-Valves are critical for any modern hi-performance valving setup.

Type 3 Gold Valves are the latest version of our bolt-on fork valving system for cartridge forks. Gold Valves significantly improve the flow over stock pistons, putting valving control on the shim stack instead of the piston. This results in outstanding tuneability, improved control, traction, plushness and bottoming resistance.

Includes detailed online instructions, Gold Valve Pistons, Valving Shims, and access to the Digital Valving Search (DVS) which provides specific valving stacks for your exact weight, skill and riding conditions.

Kit includes all the fork bushings, o-rings, snap rings and washers this kit comes with what it needs to completely rebuild your front fork bushings

• Kit includes a pair of oil seals and dust seals; no bushings or other rebuild parts included
• Seals have been tested to over 1 million strokes in R&D development
• Every part meets or exceeds OEM quality standards
  
   

• Lighter and stiffer than stock, high quality shock spring.
• 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 5.3 kg/mm for the CRF450L

Rebound Separator Valves replace the shock shaft nut with an asymmetric valve (provides a different flow rate in each direction of travel) to increase traction and improve bottoming resistance and pitch control.

Why is this needed? On a standard shock the Low Speed Rebound Adjuster flows the same on compression and rebound. In testing, when the lowest speed rebound damping is quick enough to get good traction, the lowest speed compression damping is too mushy. This causes a vague feeling and bottoming on long duration hits like big dips or gullies in Dirt. For Pavement RSV's have the added benefit of pitch control (front to back movement during acceleration and braking). This keeps geometry more consistent.

The Valve has a partially drilled bleed hole in the center. IT MUST BE DRILLED BY THE END USER TO THE PROPER SIZE (2.8mm).

G3-LD Gold Valves provide better control for any rider by creating more shim leverage and decreasing the angular shim deflection.

Top suspension performance requires firm bottoming resistance with plushness at the same time. Even the best suspension tuners can only make the stock valving design work so well. The Gold Valve Shock Suspension System is a proven bolt-on shock valving system that improves control, traction, performance and bottoming resistance.

Riding height is very important you need to be able to control the bike at all time. So for those riders that find that their bikes are a little bit high, the Zeta Anodized Lowering Link are perfect replacements for your OEM linkage. Lowering your center of gravity in some case gives you better handling and a more comfortable riding height.

FEATURES

• Improving ground touch.
• Able to lower with adjustable link. (Reference : About - 30 mm. Vary by models.)
• Bolt on design, only changing a stock link rod.
• 7000-series aluminium alloy, high-level laser finish.

By simply replacing a motorcycle's stock shock linkage with a longer, stronger and lighter DeVol Lowering Linkage, a bike's seat height will be dramatically lower to help give those riders with shorter inseams a more confident and enjoyable ride.

• High-grade U.S. billet aluminum
• Longer linkage dramatically lowers seat height
• Hard anodized finish
• Applicable models include bearings/seals
• Step-by-step instructions
• Available for most dirt and some dual sport models
• 100% Made in the U.S.A.

The DeVol Lowering Linkage is not recommended for aggressive riders or jumping. If you need a linkage to enhance the performance of your bike's suspension, the DeVol Transformer Pull-Rod is exactly what you are looking for.

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: This 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.

• Extracts dirt and debris trapped between fork seal and tube
• Easy way to keep fork seals clean and debris free
• Works on conventional and upside-down forks

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.
