fork

I’ve spent way too much time researching, and frankly, I’m still not sure what I learned. I’m nearly positive that my 2016 model is a low model, as discussed on here countless times. I’m going to fix that, but like others who’ve come before me, and those who will come after me, there’s the...

My right fork leg seal was leaking, which I managed to stop by using a homemade Seal Mate. In the process of pulling out the dirt from the seal, a LOT of fork oil seeped out. That's in addition to what's been dripping out since I bought it, as well as when the previous owner stored it (seems to...

Anyone know the SKF fork seal part numbers for a 2015 Hyperstrada? Or alternatively, the fork size and manufacturer, which I can use to cross reference here: http://www.jwtimports.com.au/downloads/SKF-Fork-Seal-Measuring-Guide.pdf

Curious as to who has tried any of the multiple fork cartridge options that are out now for the Hyperstrada at this time. Appears there are some good options available such as Mupo, Traxxion, Matris and of course the Andreani kit. I have a 2015 Strada and feel that the front forks are the first...

I'm a bit of a bike-ochondriac. I got new tires installed, bike felt fine on the ride to work after (50 miles at around 80 - 90 mph). However after comparing videos of wheel spin times to what I saw when they were finishing up I think there might be too much drag on the front of the bike. I...

Decided to replace my fork oil today. 15000miles and coming up to four years. The oil that came out looked surprisingly clean, however the left fork had 100cc too much oil in it. Mine is the low version and has less oil in the forks. What came out measured same as the standard strada...

Hi, I was exploring fork upgrade options and sent an enquiry to Mupo italy . They wanted to know if my motorcycle has the Kayaba forks or not. Any pointers as to how to identify the fork manufacturer ? What other types of forks was the bike delivered with ?

Hey guys, I am sure most of you are aware of the price but for those who are not, the suspension is only $465. I think this is due to the strength of the US dollar. I am going to take the dive and do it before donald trump becomes president and then our dollar will drop (j/k) :P link is...

Anyone using any? I found a set that is 46mm and includes a switch out of Australia, but I'm not sure what the fork size actually is because it has two pieces and I don't have calipers to measure it. Preferably it's mounted on the lower part. https://www.ebay.com/itm/182025929104...

Anybody replaced their fork seals? My right fork is weeping so am about to change them out as soon as I receive the parts I ordered. The manual I bought a couple of years ago talks about how to remove the forks but offers no explanation of replacing the seals. Does anyone have a link...

Hi all, this topic is spinning in my head since morning and I wanted to know if anyone was trying to get this babe back high as on Hypermotard? Original hypestrada comes with settings where the 43mm inverted Showa fork on has reduced wheel travel (from 6.7 down to 5.9 inches, ostensibly to...

i noticed the forks stick up quite a bit above the triple tree. where can i find the stock setting for this so i can double check all is good? and has anyone decreased or increased that measurement and results? thanks

Hello everyone, I have been searching and searching and I cannot find the size of the cap? I want to buy a tool on my way home. If anyone knows what size tool you are using to remove the caps, I would greatly appreciate the information. Thank you in advance! Rene

Hello everyone, I have been doing some homework on the front forks. Took my bike to a local suspension guy and the conclusion is that I need some revalving in the front. So, I just called RaceTech and they do not have anything for my model. Has anyone on this forum done any fork work...

New owner 2500 Ks. After reading all the threads on this, today I modded the right leg. At 150 lbs I had 31 mm sag, harsh and not moving much at all, only using about 100mm of travel even standing it on it's nose. The manual shows 25% more oil in the right leg so I dropped the level from 95 to...

There is a "soft" feeling about the first few inches of my travel & it feels as if there is "missing fluid" if there is a such thing. Also, when I ride hard for a long period of time I notice brake fluid leaking out of the metal reservoir... Suggestions?

Hello all, i just received my andreani kit, looks good, instructions are a little vague, but i've read nurse daddys post a billion times, so i'm going to tackle it next week, as i wan't the bike for the weekend. i will post pics as i go along. Mark

You've seen the anticipation. You've seen the installation. You've seen the first impressions. Now, the review. If you have the money to spend, do it. Have a set made to your body weight and riding needs and put them in or have them put in. After a few weeks of riding around with my...

I'm actually battling in deciding whether to have the axel and fork slider install for my strada. It's actually looks good without it....but in another thought it might be bad if I crash one day.

Hi all, I am almost ready to take my forks down to Race Tech for some Gold Valves. They quoted me a rough estimate of $500 for the parts and work. From prior experience with the kits they sell for conventional forks, I should be able to get to a setting that works for me for a lot less than...
