Setup, Compatibility & Care
This kit is compatible with 50/18mm KYB rear shock assemblies. Installation requires the removal of the shock from the motorcycle and the use of a spring compressor and seal-driving tools. It is recommended to perform this service in a clean environment to prevent any grit from entering the internal assembly during reassembly. Always ensure the shaft surface is inspected for pits or deep scratches before installing the new seals, as damaged shafts will destroy new seals prematurely. After installation, bleed the system thoroughly to remove trapped air bubbles, which can cause erratic damping.
