KR1S Forks question
Had some forks come in the post today (don't worry i had ordered them )
They look the like the ones but have an air valve on the top of the forks.
is this standard or is it a modification?
if it is a mod can they be converted back to standard
Oh and also do the KR1 top half of the forks fit the later KR1S ?

They are at my mom's house so i can't do a pic at the mo.
They look exactly like the KR1S forks but it's just the air valves.
There is a little metal cap on top of the fork and that unscrews to reveal the valve
This is the only pic i can get at the moment

Why not fit them and see what they feel like? you never know but you may have a "better than standard" setup.

LOL well as I'm running a set of ZXR400SP with ohlins internals I don't think so Seriously they sound like someone has spent some serious time and money improving them so they could well be worth trying as standard the forks are a bit on the crap side of useless (IMHO).headcoats wrote:Wanna swop thenthe-elf wrote:Why not fit them and see what they feel like? you never know but you may have a "better than standard" setup.

Well i've been able to make one good set of forks outta 3 pairs
The oil level in the forks will need looking at before it's finished but looking o.k..
Thanks for everyones help
Those bloody air forks appeared to be consisted of springs half the length
a bit of tubing to make up the space and a couple of air valves
They bottomed out whatever the amount of air they had in them.
