SKF fork bushings optimize suspension performance, providing a smoother and more controlled ride even in the most extreme conditions.\u003cbr\u003eInnovative Materials for Maximum PerformanceSKF fork bushings combine the mechanical strength of steel with the low-friction properties of the PTFE layer, ensuring exceptional durability and efficiency. Their three-layer construction design ensures top performance:Steel Backing – Provides high structural integrity and features a copper coating to prevent corrosion, extending the component's lifespan.Intermediate Bronze Layer – Creates a strong bond between the backing and the PTFE sliding surface, improving heat dissipation during operation.Sliding PTFE-based Layer – Reduces friction and ensures smooth movement for a more responsive suspension. After a short break-in period, the PTFE coating on the contact surface optimizes smoothness and wear resistance over time.\u003cbr\u003eBenefits of SKF Fork Bushings? Maintenance-free – No lubrication required? Reduced friction – Minimizes stiction (static friction), improving fork response under lateral loads.? High load capacity – Withstands heavy stresses, offering superior mechanical strength.? Stability across a wide temperature range – Delivers consistent performance in all environmental conditions.? Dimensional precision and minimal clearances – Enhances fork alignment and feel.? Quick identification – Dimensional markings for easy selection and installation. Complete Fork Bushing Kit for Full Suspension ServiceSKF fork bushings are available in a convenient kit for the complete service of a single fork leg.Enhance your suspension performance with the SKF PTFE Fork Bushing Kit! Trust SKF PTFE composite fork bushings for a more reliable, high-performing, and long-lasting suspension system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cp\u003eDescription:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintenance-free operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow frictional properties under side load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh load carrying capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStability at wide operating temperatures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall operating clearance for improved guidance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand: \u003c\/strong\u003eAthena\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number: \u003c\/strong\u003eVKWA-KYB46-A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGAS GAS ECRanger 200 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGAS GAS ECRanger 300 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonda CR125R 1997-2007\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonda CR125R 1999-2007\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonda CR250R 1996\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonda CR500R 1996-2002\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHonda XR650R 2000-2007\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKawasaki KX125 BI 1995-2001\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKawasaki KX125 1995-2001\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKawasaki KX250 2T 1996-2001\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKawasaki KX500 2001-2004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKawasaki Ninja ZX6R ZX600F 1998-1999\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKawasaki Ninja ZX6R ZX600G 1998-1999\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKawasaki Ninja ZX6R ZX600J 1998-1999\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKawasaki Ninja ZX6R ZX600P 1998-1999\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKawasaki Ninja ZX6R ZX600R 1998-1999\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKawasaki Ninja ZX9R ZX900B 1998-2004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKawasaki Ninja ZX9R ZX900C 1998-2004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKawasaki Ninja ZX9R ZX900F 1998-2004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoto Guzzi Stelvio 1042 2024-2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuzuki RM250 2001-2002\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuzuki SV1000S 2003-2008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha WR250F 2002-2003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha WR400F 1999-2000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha WR426F 2001-2002\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha WR450F 2003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha YZ125 1996-2003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha YZ250 1996-2003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha YZ250F 2001-2003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha YZ400F 1998-1999\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha YZ426F 2000-2002\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYamaha YZ450F 2003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: Image is for reference only, actual product may vary slightly.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Athena","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45159785463887,"sku":"VKWA-KYB46-A-ATHENA-0426-ATH","price":44.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/7120\/7759\/files\/VKWA-KYB46-A_bd5e2b9a-b965-4c31-81de-1f180c353026.jpg?v=1777656889","url":"https:\/\/lionparts.com\/products\/athena-skf-fork-bushing-kit-vkwa-kyb46-a","provider":"Lionparts Powersports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
