  • SUPPORT & FITTING

Our Open-Cartridge system was developed specifically to offer Tenere 700 owners a more affordable option to address the shortcomings of the OEM fork components.

 

Offering a significant improvement in all-round performance, with or without luggage, this fork upgrade kit is ideally suited for those riders embarking on overland travel, with frequently and significantly changing [luggage] load and all-terrain riding conditions.

 

Supplied as a DIY fit direct replacement for the OEM internal components, this kit retains the original 200mm travel length and corresponding seat height.

 

Our unique Open Cartridge upgrade was designed and developed in conjunction with TracTive Suspension in the Netherlands, and offers a significant improvement in all-round performance compared to the OEM components. 

T7 ADVENTURE Fork Kit specification

 

Our Open Cartridge Fork Kit has the same 200mm travel as the OEM fork components, but offers much higher performance and added adjustability.

 

features include:

 

• Fully adjustable for fork spring preload, compression and rebound damping control.
• Our replacement billet fork caps feature up to 11mm of spring preload adjustment.

• 35mm piston for improved oil flow, damping performance, feel and response.
• Supplied with linear fork springs in a choice of rates to match the rider weight.

• PDS check-valve circuit to enhance the damping progression towards the final portion of the stoke.

• Hard anodised CNC machined aluminium (external) and stainless steel (internal) component construction for durability.

 

Utilising a big-bore 35mm diameter piston and cartridge (rather than the OEM 20mm diameter), this allows for much larger diameter shims, giving 270% more surface area, and a much more progressive and controlled feeling due to increased oil flow. 

 

Supplied with a pair of linear-wound springs in a choice of three different rates, coupled with CNC machined plastic Spring Guides (incorporating our own PDS/check-valve design) and our high-strength hard-anodised aluminium 35mm cartridge/piston tubes. Complete with our own design billet aluminium adjustable preload fork caps.

 

The kit comes ready to fit* including in a pair of dedicated spanners (for fitting the fork caps and adjusting the spring preload) and 1 litre of Motorex 5W Low Friction Racing Fork Oil.
 

*Please see our fitting instructions for the list of tools required to install our T7 Fork Cartridge Kits.

A pair of linear-wound springs (polished), in a choice of three different rates - depending on rider and any luggage/passenger weight.
 

Fork Spring choice (select using menu box above):

 

  • Rider weight up to 75kg..................5.6 N/mm
  • Rider weight up to 95kg..................6.0 N/mm
  • Rider weight above 95kg................6.4 N/mm

 

Note. The kit does not include replacement Fork Seals - our recommended SKF upgrade seals are available separately if required.

 

Note. Our LEVEL 1 Fork Kit is designed to be a straightforward DIY fit, but does require some basic knowledge of fork disassembly and suspension work. If you do not feel able/or have the facilities to do this at home, we recommend you contact a suspension specialist to perform the work for you.

 

Special Note. If you do not have access to a battery impact driver (or air gun), to remove the compression adjuster in the bottom of the fork leg, then we recommend purchasing our dedicated Fork Cartridge Tool to simplify the initial removal of the OEM fork cartridge.
