Motion Pro 08-0117 Damper Rod Fork Tool

It still works great, but for a lot of bikes it is a little too short, it worked for my G310gs but the the t handle would only go through one side of the tool as the damper rod was too long for the tool and got in the way that being said it still works just being engaged in one side.

2006 ZX10 - 43mm KYB forks. Tool fit fork cartridge perfectly for disassembly. Made of solid steel. Great buy for the money.

The build quality is fine and the machined spanner ends are the correct dimensions but the tool overall is not long enough to clear some fork cartridges and use the rod provided with the tool. I machined out a 22mm socket to adapt the spanner end and "extend" the tool which wasn't a big deal

First off, I could not have done the deep disassembly of my KYB forks without this tool. Yes, it's a bit short when trying to deal with the cartridge while it's in the fork leg, but I used a slender punch that did the job of holding the top of the tool while I loosened/tightened the bottom bolt. So it will fit an Aprilia Tuareg but probably not with the supplied handle, the holes just peek out above the fork tube. For holding the cartridge once it's out of the fork leg, this tool was extremely useful. I was able to remove/replace the base valve and remove the mid valve for shim repairs and it worked perfectly. I see the price has gone up alot since I bought it but knowing what I know now, I'd still buy it. I'd consider it essential.

Works perfect on 2006 Kawasaki KLX250S the fork is the same from 2006 - 2019 I used it to disassemble the forks for rebuild and to put Race Tech gold valves in.

This is a good unit for working on forks. The piece is strong and holds well. Typical Motion Pro quality. Buy with confidence.

Doesn’t fit 48mm forks on older bikes ie Kawasaki KX250 and Yamaha 450’s.

Had to replace the seals. Worked and fit perfectly.
