Wilbers fork springs for Kawasaki GPZ 1100 '82

Product details

Wilbers fork spring kit, progressive, for Kawasaki GPZ 1100, type KZT10B, model year '82 (fork oil must be ordered separately), with ABE according to the application list.

General description

Depending on the application, Wilbers offers progressive or linear fork springs, manufactured from the best and highest quality chrome-silicon steel. For touring and sport touring, we generally recommend a progressive fork spring to optimise responsiveness on the one hand, and increase bottoming resistance on the other. The combination of "Zero Friction" fork springs with the specially developed Wilbers fork oil is very important, as is observing the correct air chamber for the respective vehicle. If desired, individual tuning can be achieved in special cases by changing the air chamber.
For motorsport applications, we recommend the very light linear chrome-silicon fork springs from Wilbers, which were co-developed by the motorsport team.

"ZERO friction" friction reduction through vibratory finishing:
During vibratory finishing, the parts to be processed, such as Wilbers fork springs, are located together with an abrasive media specifically tailored for this purpose in a vibrating container, known as a trough vibrator.
The vibrations of the container create a relative movement between the workpiece and the abrasive media and through constant rubbing, lead to a smoothing of the componentupper surface. At the end of the processing, there is a fine, glossy surface.
For Wilbers fork springs, this reduction in surface roughness means a minimisation of friction = ZERO friction.

Each set of fork springs includes a recommendation for the viscosity of the fork oil and the air chamber height in the fork. These values have been determined by experienced Wilbers technicians and ensure optimal riding comfort and feedback at the front wheel.

Note: please order the fork oil separately.
