Wilbers fork springs for Kawasaki Z 1000 ST 79

Product details

Wilbers fork spring set, progressive, for Kawasaki Z 1000 ST, type KZT 00 E, model year 79 (fork oil please order separately), with ABE according to the 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, we generally recommend a progressive fork spring to optimise the response and, on the other hand, to increase the bottoming resistance. Crucial is the combination of the "Zero Friction" fork springs with the specially developed Wilbers fork oil, as well as 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 components to be processed, such as Wilbers fork springs, are placed together with an abrasive media specially adapted 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 component surface. At the end of the process, a fine, shiny surface is achieved.

For Wilbers fork springs, this reduction in surface roughness means minimised friction = ZERO friction.



Each fork spring set includes a recommendation for 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 optimal riding comfort and feedback at the handlebars.



Note: please order the fork oil separately.
