How do I add oil to Showa forks?
3rd Method: Remove the fork from the bike, unscrew the top so only the outer chamber oil drains out (don’t take apart the fork cap/inner cartridge portion) and leave upside down on the bench over night to drain. Then refill the next morning.
How does the Showa balance free front fork work?
Balance Free Front Fork [BFF] Showa’s unique “balance-free” structure prevents damping force from being generated across the piston inside the cylinder. With the damping force-generating mechanism placed outside of the cylinder and pressurized, damping force response is improved.
Why are Showa front forks used in motocross?
This is mainly adopted for motocross race models. Showa’s unique “balance-free” structure prevents damping force from being generated across the piston inside the cylinder. With the damping force-generating mechanism placed outside of the cylinder and pressurized, damping force response is improved.
Which is the best front fork shock absorber?
Big Piston Front Fork [BPF] With the structure’s larger piston size, damping force response improves and high performance is achieved. This is mainly adopted for large on-road models.
