Wilbers forkfedern for Kawasaki EN 500 93-97

Product details

Wilbers forkfedern set, progressive, for Kawasaki EN 500, type EN 500 A, model year 93-97 (forköl please order separately), with ABE according to the application list.

General description

Depending on the application, Wilbers offers progressive or linear forkfedern, manufactured from the best and highest quality chrome-silicon steel. For touring and touring-sport use, we generally recommend a progressive forkfeder to optimise the response characteristics and, on the other hand, to increase bottoming resistance. Crucially important is the combination of "Zero Friction" forkfedern with the specially developed Wilbers forköl, as well as observing the correct air gap for the respective vehicle. If desired, individual tuning can be achieved in special cases by changing the air gap.
For motorsport applications, we recommend the very light linear chrome-silicon forkfedern 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 forkfedern, are located 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 relative movement between the workpiece and the abrasive media, and through constant rubbing, lead to a smoothing of the part surface. At the end of the process, a fine, glossy surface is achieved.
For Wilbers forkfedern, this reduction in surface roughness means a minimisation of friction = ZERO friction.

Each forkfedern set includes a recommendation for the viscosity of the forköl and the height of the air gap in the fork. These values have been determined by experienced Wilbers technicians and ensure optimum riding comfort and feedback at the handlebars.

Note: Please order the forköl separately.
