KLX140(R): Suspension

Included in this kit are 0.43 kg/mm Race Tech straight rate fork springs, Cogent DDC (Drop in Damper Cartridge) performance cartridges and two bottles of 5w fork oil.

Due to the small diameter of the KLX140 fork springs, the DDC Installation Tool will not work in the normal way on these bikes.

These Cogent Drop-in Dynamic Cartridges will vastly improve both the compression and rebound damping of your stock forks. These units have been given the seal of approval by the ProCycle staff for both performance and ease of installation. No disassembly of your forks, no drilling of damper rods. Just change the oil over to 5w and install the DDCs under the springs and hit the trails.

DDC Tool will not work with this spring series

Damping rod forks are notorious for being both too harsh yet too easy to bottom. This is the nature of damping rod fixed orifice forks.

Cartridge Emulators make damping rod style forks perform like well-tuned cartridge forks. These tunable valves sit on top of the damping rods and are held in place by the main springs. This makes them both simple to install and completely tunable for all conditions and rider preferences.

Kit includes all the fork bushings, o-rings, snap rings and washers. This kit comes with what you need to completely rebuild your front fork 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
• Sold in Pairs

• Each kit contains the bearing and all of the seals, spacers and pins to rebuild the shock bearings to factory specifications
• Constructed from OEM quality components at a fraction of the cost

Kouba lowering link will lower the rear 1.75". Comes with bearings and seals installed for a quick and easy installation. Instructions included.

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: 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.
