FAQs

Are these fork tubes ready to install out of the box?

These are replacement fork tubes and typically do not come pre-filled with oil or with seals/bushings installed. You will need to transfer existing components or purchase new ones, and fill with the appropriate fork oil as per your motorcycle's service manual.

What is the warranty period for these fork tubes?

TNK Replacement Fork Tubes come with a 1-year warranty from the date of purchase.

How long will it take to receive my order?

These items are usually dispatched within 3-4 days.

Can I use these on a different Triumph model?

These fork tubes are specifically designed for the Triumph Sprint 1050ST 2005-2011 models. Using them on other models may not be compatible and could compromise safety and performance.

Do I need special tools for installation?

Yes, installing fork tubes requires specialized tools such as fork seal drivers, spring compressors, and potentially a torque wrench for precise tightening of various components. It is recommended to have these services done by a professional if you lack the necessary tools or experience.

What is the benefit of nickel chrome construction?

Nickel chrome construction offers excellent durability, resistance to corrosion and wear, and provides a smooth, attractive finish that is easy to clean and maintain.

Troubleshooting

Fork seals leaking after installation

This can occur if the fork tubes were scratched during installation or if the seals were not seated correctly. Double-check the surface of the fork tube for imperfections and ensure the seal was installed squarely and fully seated.

Inconsistent damping or harsh ride

Verify that the correct type and amount of fork oil were used, and that the fork springs were installed correctly. Ensure no debris is obstructing internal fork components.

Difficulty fitting tubes into triple clamps

Loosen the pinch bolts on the triple clamps slightly to allow for adjustment. Ensure the fork tubes are clean and free of any burrs that might impede insertion. Do not force the tubes; they should slide in smoothly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: These fork tubes are specifically designed as direct replacements for the Triumph Sprint 1050ST models manufactured between 2005 and 2011. The manufacturer part number is 100-0050652. Ensure your motorcycle model and year align with this specification before purchase.

Setup: Installation requires complete disassembly of the front forks. This is an advanced mechanical task that should ideally be performed by a qualified motorcycle mechanic or an experienced individual. Proper tools, including fork seal drivers and spring compressors, are essential. Ensure all components are cleaned and lubricated according to service manual specifications before reassembly.

Care: The nickel chrome finish is durable but should be maintained to prevent corrosion. Clean the fork tubes regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or pads that could scratch the finish. In environments with high salt content or humidity, consider applying a light coat of motorcycle-specific silicone polish after cleaning to provide an extra layer of protection.
