Wilbers forkfedern for Kawasaki Z 1000 A2 78-

Product Details

Wilbers forkfedern set, progressive, for Kawasaki Z 1000 A2, type Z 1 F, model year 78- (forkoil please order separately), with ABE according to the application list

General Description

Depending on the application, Wilbers offers progressive or linear forkfedern, made from the best and highest quality chrome-silicon steel. For touring and touring-sport applications, we generally recommend a progressive forkfeder to optimise response and, on the other hand, increase bottoming resistance. The combination of "Zero Friction" forkfedern with the specially developed Wilbers forkoil and observing the correct air chamber for the respective corresponding vehicle is very important. 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 forkfedern from Wilbers, which were co-developed by the Motorsport Team.

"ZERO friction" friction reduction through vibratory finishing:
During vibratory finishing, the componente to be processed, such as Wilbers forkfedern, are placed together with a specifically tailored grinding media in a vibrating container, known as a trough vibrator.
The vibrations of the container create relative movement between the workpiece and the grinding media, and through constant rubbing, lead to a smoothing of the componentupper surface. At the end of the process, a fine, shiny surface is achieved.
For Wilbers forkfedern, this reduction in surface roughness means minimised friction = ZERO friction.

Each set of forkfedern 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 optimal riding comfort and feedback on the front wheel.

Note: please order the forkoil separately.
