K-Tech linear fork springs are manufactured from the highest grade chrome silicone wire, each spring is cold-coiled, heat-treated, pre-set and ground to length before being polished for ultimate performance.
Linear-rate springs are evenly wound from top to bottom so that the force (road surface bumps and potholes, acceleration and braking) remains the same from the initial input right through to when the springs won’t compress any further whereas progressive springs are wound closer at one end and further apart at the other.
Linear springs give you the ability to fine tune the suspension closer to your specific weight, rather than using progressive springs which will always be a compromise as they are manufactured to work over a much wider weight range.
The K-Tech Suspension R&D team have developed these springs over a period of extensive research and testing on their own Yamaha Tenere 700.
All springs have their rate laser etched on the end and are manufactured to DIN 2095 grade 1.

Öhlins decided to tune up the rear suspension of the Tenere 700 so you can maximize this adventure bikes performance.
To do this, Öhlins suspension engineers have developed an STX 46 piggyback shock absorber with a remote spring preload adjuster.
With both compression and rebound damping adjustment, you will be able to fine tune your ride experience.
If you want a lower set-up on gravel roads to improve stability or if you prefer a higher ride on tarmac roads to make the Ténéré 700 more agile that is easily changed with the remote preload adjuster. This feature also comes in handy when adding a passenger or luggage to the bike.
Tested thoroughly both on and off-road, the rear shock swallow’s everything from road vibrations and small bumps to bigger bumps and G outs, and is also very capable during off-road riding.
With a great improvement in comfort, the shock absorber makes those long rides much more pleasant - and if you want to hit the back country and dirt tracks then this Öhlins damper will give you the confidence to go explore!
This kit INCLUDESÖhlins Series 08424-xx Fork Springs, and Öhlins Fork Oil, as well as the Öhlins FKA114 Cartridge Kit.
Dual Sport and Adventure bikes.
Based on the successful road racing kits. The Öhlins cartridge kits have now been made for the medium sized adventure bikes. Based on the successful Öhlins technology, we are proud to introduce Öhlins cartridge kits for this segment.
Medium sized adventure bikes used in their right element on true adventures both on and off the road can now enjoy the improved comfort and performance from an Öhlins cartridge kit. Öhlins R&D decided to go for a solution based on the successful Öhlins NIX technology to reach the goal of a cartridge that can deliver both comfort and performance, and go longer than an off-road kit between servicing. The small design of the cartridge kit makes it fit easily in the upside down OE forks most adventures bikes are equipped with today. The kits are easy to install, just pop out the OE kits and install the Öhlins cartridge kits instead.
Thanks to the FKA 114 kit from Öhlins the Yamaha Tenere 700 now has a fully adjustable front end. Rebound damping is on one leg and compression in the other leg, with adjustable spring preload in both legs. Together with an overall improved damping system, the bike is transformed and can deliver so much more.
Different springs are available for riders individual demands as well as an effective hydraulic stop inside the kit to prevent bottoming. After tests we feel confident this cartridge kit improves the adventure bike both in terms of comfort and overall performance.
Fast gravel roads on a weekend or piloting around small trails to find the perfect stop for the night demands both comfort and performance. With this kit your Tenere 700 delivers that.
