Installation instructions in .pdf format A VERY high level of suspension knowledge is assumed. Factory Service Manual is included as a .pdf download with this product to aid in stock fork disassembly.
*Professional installation is absolutely mandatory. No exceptions. Over the years we have found that 100% of all kits returned were completely correct and could be installed without issue on locally serviced bikes. In other words, all allegedly wrong kits were attributable to user error. For this reason, we insist that all Matris fork and cartridge kits are professionally installed. To save this potential hassle, AF1 Racing offers a Mail-In Fork Cartridge Install Service.
Kit comes pre-set to your given rider weight. If you're buying a bike second hand that has this kit installed, spring spacers are available that allow further spring pre-load adjustment.
*Please note: For V7 with Kaifa brand forks only. Kaifa forks will have a letter "K" stamped into the hub position indicated in the photo below:
