Wilbers Fork Springs for Suzuki GS 500 / E / F 79-03

Product Details

Wilbers fork spring kit, progressive, for Suzuki GS 500 / E / F, type GS 500 E / GM 51 B/ WVBK, model year 79-03 (please order forkoil separately), with ABE according to application list.

General Description

Depending on the application, Wilbers offers progressive or linear forksprings, manufactured from the best and highest quality chrome-silicon steel. For touring and touring-sport, we usually recommend a progressive forkspring to optimise response and, on the other hand, to increase bottoming resistance. The combination of "Zero Friction" forksprings with the specially developed Wilbers forkoil is very important, as is observing the correct air chamber for the corresponding vehicle. If desired, an individual setup can be achieved in special cases by changing the air chamber.
For motorsport applications, we recommend Wilbers' very light linear chrome-silicon forksprings, 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 forksprings, are placed together with an abrasive body specially designed 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 body, and the constant rubbing together results in a smoothing of the componentuppersurface. At the end of the process, a fine, shiny surface is achieved.
For Wilbers forksprings, this reduction in surface roughness means a minimisation of friction = ZERO friction.

Each forkspring set includes a recommendation for the viscosity of the forkoil 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 forkoil separately.
