Gabel Top Züchter

I use it for my KYB Fork.


These parts are designed to prevent the air inside the fork from expanding and contracting as the temperature inside the fork changes during the ride, changing the effectiveness of the air spring.

This is a convenient way to operate the Breeder with one push of a finger instead of using a slotted screwdriver to turn it.

Most motorcycles have a manual air capacity adjustment when the fork is fully extended, meaning the wheel is floating.
So in most cases, the temperature of the fork will rise while driving, and when the internal pressure of the fork rises, I think it is the way to use according to the manual to float the wheel and release the large air.

By the way, when I actually used it, I think that the change of the internal pressure by the difference of the temperature of the morning and the daytime is Large as well as the change during driving. Especially, it is remarkable in summer. The empty plastic bottle and the empty can "Pop. It seems that the same thing is happening inside Fork.

And there is another way to use this Parts, because it is easy to bleed air with One push, so if you bleed air while riding 1G’, you can get the effect similar to lowering the oil level, reducing the amount of stroke, making Damper effective, etc. while driving.
It is only a pseudo, but our feeling is that it is generally 'There will be less Strokes. Less lumpy ride, Damper extension from near Full Bottom works so you can easily use it depending on the running scene.


By the way, I tried to measure the sag by retracting the FFork as much as possible in the state of riding 1G’, but the value was hard to become constant even if Damper was set to the weakest. This is probably because it is in a halfway state, with 1G’ at the center, negative pressure works in the direction of extension, and reaction force is applied in the direction of contraction.
Other factors such as Spring rate, Initial, etc. are also involved, but it is necessary to take this air pressure into consideration when setting out, otherwise you may fall into a trap.


Also, this Parts is very vulnerable to moisture penetration. Is it possible that the moisture is coming from the Button part? Is it?
This type of KYB's fork cap has a hollow top. The top of the fork spring will be roasted if it is not good.

I applied a lot of silicon grease to the O-ring of the part that is inserted into the fork top cap to make it seal a little bit. If the O-ring is screwed in too tightly, the O-ring will be torn to shreds, so you need to be careful about Torque management. By the way, it seems that the air tightness is kept enough even by hand tightening.
As an added bonus, when I wash the car, I carefully air blow the water away and when I store it, I cover the entire Top Bridge with a Vinyl bag.

As you can see in the image from the side, it juts out from the Top cap, so there is a limit to how far it can stick out and the direction of the cap, and when disassembling the fork, it takes a little more work.

However, it is a unique Parts, so if you are interested in it, please try it.

【Vehicle type】 KTM 690 SMC-R 2012 type
【What made you decide the purchase?】
Orange color
【How was it actually used?】
MINICourse (Road) In the repetition of running for 15 minutes, the air pressure does not rise too much.
Perhaps it is unlikely to be necessary on a town ride or a paved road.
【Mounting was difficult?】
it's simple. The tools used are Phillips Screwdriver and Raped Pen.
[Is there anything I was disappointed about?]
There is none.
【Hope for Manufacturer - Please let me know if you have any improvement points]
If you give it stronger, you can use Combination wrench to make it easier to tighten at installation
I would like a shape to be like.
【Have you compared items?】
KTM POWER PARTS 'Bleeder Valve Set.
I decided on ZETA at price, color, Design.

Easy to install with a slotted screwdriver and radio pliers It can be installed
The performance is not so flashy riding, so the one point of appearance is more important than the function It's become Main (⌒-⌒;)
Remove the screw cap with a slotted screwdriver and screw it in by hand It is
But there's a chance that it could come loose even if you tighten it as hard as you can
So, I tightened it by hand with Radio pliers, and then lightly tightened it to make it harder to loosen I think
But you do need to check in regularly (^^)

In the 5th year of the WR, although the air bleeding of F suspension was smolder after every four seasons and running
Air bleed Screw bought this item because Aluminum was nearly reaching its limit.

Air bleeder makes air bleeding far easier.
After forest roads and intense running, it is often good to have air piled up and feel free to push it out
Afterwards when shipping to the Transporter it was good to buy it because it will be easier to pull down and shrink as you shrink the air with Tie Down.
Just when trees such as forest roads are covered, it seems there is a possibility of breaking by obstacles, so be careful and be careful ... when it's bad, you can not do that
