Enter your extended, static, and rider measurements on the left (or select a preset) to compute exact sag percentages and spring preload recommendations.

Factory Fluid StandardDirect Spec

Maxima Racing Fork Fluid 5W (1 Liter)

Formulated with anti-foam agents and shear-stable viscosity index improvers to prevent damping fade under aggressive riding heat.

Fork & Dust Seal KitExact Stanchion Fit

All Balls Racing 43mm Fork & Dust Seal Kit

Features directional triple-lip rubber seal profile and external garter springs engineered to withstand heavy stanchion flex without weeping.

Air-Gap Tuning PhysicsBottoming Control

95 mm (3.74 in) compressed, spring removed

Trapped air column acts as a progressive spring in final 30% of stroke. Adding +5mm oil increases bottoming resistance without stiffening small bump compliance.

FACTORY WORKSHOP SPECIFICATION:

10 N·m (7 lbf·ft) U-Nuts

CRITICAL WORKSHOP PROCEDURE:

CRITICAL RECALL SAFETY COUNTERMEASURE (Recall 22V-061 / Service Bulletin MTB 17819). Extended 1st gear operation above 5,000 rpm causes exhaust radiant heat to melt the oil cooler outlet pipe. The heat guard installs directly between the #2/#3 header pipes and the oil lines.

INSPECTION TARGETRecall 21V-249 / KL9

Bore Counterbore Orientation (Mandatory Rule)

Bores of Left & Right Plates MUST Face Outside

FACTORY WORKSHOP SPECIFICATION:

Recessed Bolt Head / Nut Clearance

CRITICAL WORKSHOP PROCEDURE:

CRITICAL RECALL INSPECTION (Recall 21V-249 / Bulletin KL9). Visually verify that the machined counterbores face OUTSIDE. The bolt head and nut MUST recess cleanly into the plate bores. If flat face is facing outside, plates were installed backwards at the factory and will bind and fracture.

FACTORY WORKSHOP SPECIFICATION:

Critical Recall Safety Countermeasure

CRITICAL WORKSHOP PROCEDURE:

CRITICAL RECALL COUNTERMEASURE (Recall 24V-113 / Bulletins KP9 & KQ0). Original low-density resin impellers absorbed solvent from automotive fuels, swelling and binding against the pump casing to cause sudden engine shutdown while riding. Replacement module features reinforced high-density resin impeller.
