Only spec1 need to use diff fork brace bcoz of the diameter of the fork, PB1, Ver R, S, Spec II, III & maybe Revo all can fit lah....

[arsonist]

hi guys.. when down to motorworld the other day the salesman told mi spec3 if wan to install fork brace will hv to remove the black plastic fork protector.. juz wanna double check izit true?

 

dun need to remove the protector, jus shift up and make enough space for the fork brace will do.

Not recomended as the fork brace has to be level up till the top of the lower segment.

 

There was a post earleir here from me that I answered to the question...here is the snipped..

 

>>"..is it necessary to postition the fork brace at the very top of the fork? "

 

...YES...you must otherwise there is pushing and pulling action that can cracked the lower fork section which is softer due to thinner inner lining".

yah i want to do that but first must find a shop that sell the fork brace silver color for my spec 1. then i do and post pics k

hi bros, i would like to know whether its better to haf the fork longer or haf it pressed.. what effect does it haf after fork press and is it recommended?

thx in advance..

[xsubzerox]

So the fork brace shud be placed directly above the black guard or the very top as in just right below the handlebars behind the headlight?

[Ah Pek]

So the fork brace shud be placed directly above the black guard ..

 

Err...if you can..but the problem is the fork brace should be mounted at the location where the black fork seal guard protector is.

 

..or the very top as in just right below the handlebars behind the headlight?

 

If I understand you correctly...answer is no..the "top" is referring to the lower larger fork section and that's quite away from the headlamp...exactly where the 'swollen' part of the lower section fork meet the stanchion tube (fork upper tube).

 

Look around you the next time you at a car park and see if there is a aluminium flat piece across a pair of fork less just above the front fender..tha's a fork brace..and useful for preventing the fork from flexing out.

Not sure what you mean by "longer"..it come stock as it is and for "fork press"..what exactly do you mean?

Any diff between the fork brace and damper.

[Ah Pek]

Any diff between the fork brace and damper.

 

Fork Brace is for front suspension...Damper is for steering handle bar.

[stevenlu]

But like both same function?

Prevent wobbling, improve stability....

[Ah Pek]

Steering damper is designed to inhibit an undesirable, uncontrolled movement know as wobbling or oso known as or in extreme cases, a 'tank-slapper'.

 

Fork brace provides a stiffer front ends reducing extreme fork flexture. Only the stiffness contributes effectively in helpong wobbles...other than that, preventing fork flex is primarily.

 

Anyway...today's bike, other general improvements in design and tyre technology and especially stiffer stock fork front has made this two items 'quite' unnecessary.

 

"Prevent wobbling, improve stability...."...in short, you can look at it that way for both in function.

heard tat fork brace can reduce vibration when cornering izzit true??

 

and will the fork brace spoil my front fork after long term usage cos theres no free

 

play wif the 2 forks??

 

 

:smile:

 

 

Reduce vibration?. Dont think so,but improve rigidness between the to shock legs,YES!. Sometime when cornering hard you will hear the front rotor(disc) rubbing the brakepads,thats when you know that your front forklegs are flexing. Recommended for those who like to play corners.....

[joajas]

Bros, update us if you are able to try out the spec 3 brace. I am thinking of getting one, but can't seem to find one for verS.

[Ah Pek]

Fitting for the right version of your bike is one thing..just having a fork brace for comestic is another. Go get a proper one, price range from at least $145.00.

 

Make sure there is NO GAP at the circular clamp when it grips your slider and MAKR SURE that it is fitted right at the top end. Those seal guard gotta go unless you can figure a way to set it up without taking the location of when the fork brace should be.

 

Also read the earlier part of the thread here..its not like a car strut in function.

 

One CAUTION in using fork brace..if one fork is haveing an oil seal leak..please remove the fork brace. I am skipping the details here.
