WIRTH Fork Springs DL1000 (2002 no preload)

For the 2002 V-Strom (Which does NOT have preload adjustments at top of the front suspension) These fork springs by WIRTH of GERMANY are a little harder than the original springs and they are progressively wound. Which means they are supple at the top of the suspension travel, but become progressively stiffer as they compress, which is an ideal feature for a bike that is operated with one rider at times, and at other times, fully loaded. Reduces bottoming and increases control when riding off-road.

If your V-Strom has preload adjustments at the top of the front suspension, use 040-0492. This 040-0463 spring is 20mm longer than the 040-0492.

If you have a 2003 or newer V-Strom, and want the next step harder spring, use this 2002 spring in your 2003+. It will raise the front 20mm (3/4") higher than the 040-0492.
