British suspension component manufacturer K-Tech has a range of upgrades available to replace the factory items on Yamaha’s well received, but suspension-challenged MT-10.
Their 251DS front fork cartridges are a complete replacement independent damping system designed to fit into and bring 30 clicks of external compression adjustment to the original equipment front forks.
Designed and manufactured in-house at K-Tech’s Derbyshire, UK facility, the company says it uses “the highest grade aluminium, which is hard anodised to improve performance and service internals”. These cartridges also have 30 clicks of independent rebound adjustment, 18mm pre-load adjustment, increased stroke and choice of available spring rates.
Also seen here, K-Tech say that their DDS ‘Lite’ shock absorber has been designed “as an entry level product for the customer who demands a high level of performance at a competitive price. Sharing all the same high quality components as the DDS ‘Pro’ version, the DDS ‘Lite’ performs to the same high level without the hydraulic spring pre-load adjustment or the ‘unique’ bypass valve adjustment, but can be updated to the ‘Pro’ version at a later date.
It is 4-way adjustable with 32 clicks of compression and rebound adjustment, length and manual spring pre-load adjustment, features K-Tech’s DDS (Direct Damping System) technology and has a wide range of spring rates available.
K-Tech also offer optional fork spring upgrades for their standard forks, manufactured from the “highest grade Chrome Silicone wire”, with each spring cold coiled, heat treated, pre-set and ground to length before being polishing, matching optional rate springs for their standard shock (manufactured to DIN 2095 grade 1) and service parts, such as NOK direct replacement front fork seals.
