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 49mm 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
122 mm (4.80 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.
