^*Photo above may not show current fork cap design. Matris, being Italian, likes to subtly restyle the cap at least once a year, so the fork cap you get may not be 100% identical to the photo.

Kit includes all needed parts for installation and instructions for fitting. The fitting instructions assume a very high level of understanding and mechanical aptitude. The kit will also require Showa-type spring compressor tool. To aid in installation, AF1 Racing includes the official Aprilia Fork Service manual as a digital download with this product.
*Professional installation is absolutely mandatory. No exceptions. Over the years we have found that 100% of all kits returned were completely correct and could be installed without issue on locally serviced bikes. In other words, all allegedly wrong kits were attributable to user error. For this reason, we insist that all Matris fork and cartridge kits are professionally installed.
While not required for assembly, Matris does offer a special No-Mar fork cap tool that allows tightening of the fork caps with no tooling marks.
The Kit includes one liter of 5W oil.
*Please Note: AF1 Racing recommends professional installation of this part. Not sure you want to install this kit yourself? No worries! AF1 Racing has a mail in Fork Cartridge Service to make this process easy.
