Wilbers fork springs for Kawasaki Z 1000 10-13

Product details

Wilbers fork spring set, progressive, for Kawasaki Z 1000, type ZRT 00 D, model year 10-13 (fork oil to be ordered separately), with ABE according to application list

General description

Depending on the application, Wilbers offers progressive or linear fork springs, made from the best and highest quality chrome-silicon steel. For touring and touring-sport applications, we usually recommend a progressive fork spring to optimise the response behaviour and, on the other hand, to increase the bottoming resistance. The combination of "Zero Friction" fork springs with the specially developed Wilbers fork oil and observing the correct air chamber for the correspondinge vehicle is very important. If desired, an individual setup 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 tumble finishing:
During tumble finishing, the componente to be processed, such as Wilbers fork springs, are placed together with abrasive media specially designed for this purpose in a vibrating container, known as a trough vibrator.
The vibrations of the container create relative movement between the workpiece and the abrasive media, leading to a smoothing of the componentupperfläche through constant rubbing. At the end of the process, a fine, shiny surface is achieved.
For Wilbers fork springs, this reduction in surface roughness means a minimisation of friction = ZERO friction.

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

Note: please order the fork oil separately.
