Product details
BITUBO fork slide kit for original fork, consisting of 2 slide bushes and 2 shaft seal rings, for Aprilia RSV4 Factory Type: RK000 / RK001/ RKC00 (from model year '09 onwards)General description
The Kit S was developed to reduce fork friction. Smooth sliding of the fork is absolutely necessary during brakeing, as the forces involved can cause the fork tubes to twist internally due to exponentially increasing friction. An original fork equipped with Kit S is consistently smoother and provides the rider with improved feedback on the front wheel during hard brakeing and corner entry.Sliding vs. stiction:
The KIT S significantly reduces the "sticking" of surfaces at high break-away moments and at the time of initial force application, allowing the fork to react faster and more precisely.
Kit S contains
A pair of slide bushes for the outer tube of the fork with a special anti-friction coating. These bushings are each embedded in a 7075 aluminium ring, which is dimensionally calibrated to ensure perfect interaction between the piston and the fork leg.
A pair of seals between the piston rod and the end piece, with novel sealing edges and innovative self-lubricating processing, which significantly reduces friction.
