Why Choose This Complete Fork Rebuild Kit?
A standard fork service normally replaces the fork oil and seals, but worn guide and slide bushes can still cause increased friction, unwanted movement and reduced suspension performance. This Showa 49mm Complete Fork Rebuild Kit replaces the major service and wear components together, helping restore smooth fork operation, improve front-end feel and maintain consistent suspension performance. With SKF Dual Compound seals, K-Tech bushes and K-Tech 5W Fork Oil included, the essential components are supplied together in one convenient package.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this kit rebuild both fork legs?
Yes. The kit includes SKF Dual Compound Fork Seal Kits, K-Tech guide bushes, K-Tech slide bushes and 1 litre of K-Tech 5W Fork Oil for rebuilding both fork legs.
Will this kit fit my motorcycle?
This kit is designed for the Honda, Kawasaki and Ducati models listed above that are fitted with compatible Showa 49mm front forks. Please check the model and year fitment before ordering.
What is the difference between a fork service kit and a complete rebuild kit?
A standard fork service kit normally includes fork seals and oil. This complete rebuild kit also includes the guide and slide bushes, making it ideal for a more comprehensive fork overhaul where the main wear components are being renewed.
When should Showa 49mm fork bushes be replaced?
Fork bushes should be inspected during servicing and replaced if there is visible coating wear, excessive play or increased friction. Worn bushes can reduce fork sensitivity and contribute to premature wear of other suspension components.
Why choose SKF Dual Compound fork seals?
SKF Dual Compound fork seals are designed to combine low friction with excellent sealing performance and durability, making them well suited to demanding motocross and off-road suspension applications.
