KroozR WP XPlor 48mm Forks Flow Adjuster Upgrade Kit - Gen1 - for 2017-2018 KTM / Husqvarna

The successful FA48 Flow Adjuster Kit has been tuned and further dialed-in over the last 2 years resulting in further gains and upgrades available for your WP XPlor Forks. All updates will work with the 2020 models right back to the first year XPlor in 2017!

Fits all WP XPlor Forks

After a lot of feedback from our test crew riders and customers we have worked out more options with this kit - offering higher performance and even more adjustability - leading to greater value.

KroozR Flow Adjuster Kits come with a Mid-Speed Piston and new post assembly matched with a tuneable shim stack to suit the XPlor48 Fork. This completely swaps in as a replacement for the very weak OEM WP comp adjuster on the compression side cartridge rod. The Krooztune FA fork cap is tuned in fine increments allowing for a true 20+ clicks of very noticeable adjustment!

With our latest addition of a Base Adjuster we find a working range of around 16 clicks. This achieves huge gains in plushness - a much more plush feel over the rocks and logs especially - without giving the fork a mushy feeling or making it too soft overall.

The powerful FA adjuster can be set from a super firm setting (1 click out from full in) all the way through to a plush setting at around 18-20 clicks out. Winding or clicking this damping adjuster on the FA fork cap changes the comp shim float in the mid speed piston and allows for super powerful adjustment. From a soft MX-like setup to super plush settings in clicks.

Full Kit Includes:

  • FA Adjuster Cap
  • Base Compression Adjuster
  • 2 x Base Compression Pistons (fitted to both sides)
  • Base Compression Shims / Settings
  • Refined Mid Valve Assembly / Adjuster (complete with shims ready to go)
  • 3 Optional Base Shim Settings - Soft / Medium / Firm
  • Full Fitting Instruction Manual
  • 12mm Clamp Kit to Install Midvalve Assembly

Settings

Each kit comes with 3 shim/setting options. We install Medium on all our kits unless advised otherwise - please contact us to have us pre set your option to Soft or Hard. A setting sheet is supplied

  • Soft - A plush setting which absorbs all intial hits with ease. We have great results with this with our Vet / Older guys that don't want to get beat up all day on long rides
  • Medium - A great all round average fitness and average speed setting. A balance between soft and firm. Bump absorption with great hold up.
  • Firm - Ex MX racer or fit / fast / tall guy riding on the trails at pace? This setting works well for guys that like a firmer motocross style feeling. Rip hard fast trails with ease. Still not too firm but enough to charge hard. This setting was developed with our in-house Vet MX racer after loving testing on the KTM EXC range.

Please see the table below for our experience found in tuning our kit once installed. It highlights the main issues we found on our testing program and we would adjust in these increments until great rider feeling is achieved.

Trouble Shoot / Issues FA Cap Adjuster FA Base Adjuster
Fork Diving / Running Low 1 click firmer
Fork Bottoming Hard 1-2 clicks firmer
Fork Diving & Soft Overall 1-2 clicks firmer 1-2 clicks firmer
Fork Running High in Stroke / Hard 1-2 clicks softer
Fork Harsh on Small Rocks / Roots 1-2 clicks softer
Small Bump Absorption Tuning Adj Softer or Harder
Jumps / Fork Dive / Ride Height Feel Adj softer or harder
Too Hard All Over 2 clicks softer 2 clicks softer

Clicks firmer in clockwise direction / softer is out anticlockwise. All settings are adjusted from the supplied Base Clicker Settings.

Test riders found a comfortable window fairly quickly that suited their ability and terrain in a matter of minutes. Dial in your FA adjuster first for great hold up on downhills and landings then fine tune for tree roots or rocks and logs using the base compression adjuster till you get the plushness and softer feel in your hands when riding the trails or racetrack.

The settings are not simply stuck on the suspension tuners setting / valving specifications; once installed you have the ability to virtually revalve on the fly!

Super Plush to MX firm in seconds

Key Updates for all kits developed for 2020

All new updates are added to all our kits right back to 2017. As time went by we refined the setup and setting options.

  • 4 Port Compression Pistons for finer tuning ability and less 'blow out' on big hits. Changing to this design we can achieve firmer compression setting whilst retaining a plush feel. Fitted to both fork legs with shim stacks supplied for easy install.
  • Fine Tunable Compression Base Adjuster. This replaces the stock non adjustable unit fitted to the bottom of the rebound fork only. This adjuster fitted to the rebound leg only will offer greater noticeable changes in compression setup. First off it runs a bleed from the system straight away making this plusher in hand. With a working range of around 4-20 clicks it allows for fine tuning of the compression on tree roots or rocks and small logs. Take the sharp hits out while not adjusting the powerful flow adjuster. Amazing settings can be achieved by balancing out the 2 adjusters. This enables less stress on the tuner getting the setting perfect for you. On our test bikes we ran the base adjuster on 10 clicks out and the FA on 16 clicks out. Super plush with hold up straight off the bat!
  • Not happy with the valving and initial setting installed for you from the spec sheet or your local tuner? Re-work it out on the trail yourself. This kit is super adjustable from soft to hard. Base Clicker settings and base FA settings supplied.
  • All new valving / shim settings are available to suit all year model XPlor bikes. Got a 2017 bike? Upgrade to 2019 and now 2020 tested specs and setup easily. 3 base setting instructions are supplied.
