Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This set is specifically designed for KTM, Husqvarna, Sherco, and Gas Gas motorcycles utilizing WP Forks manufactured between 2009 and 2023. Always confirm your motorcycle's fork type and model year before purchasing.
Setup: Installation involves carefully removing the front wheel and disassembling the lower fork components to access the fork seals. The new protection rings should be gently slid into place, ensuring they seat correctly around the fork stanchion and above the seal. It is recommended to consult your motorcycle's service manual or a professional mechanic for detailed installation steps to avoid damaging the fork components.
Care: Clean the protection rings regularly with water and a mild soap solution. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washers directly on the seals and surrounding areas. Inspect for damage after each ride and replace if cracked or excessively worn.
