Swapping 09 forks for -14 ?

I am right in thinking that it's a straight swap and both use the same size yokes ect ?

Doing a few things to the bike before first track day, well on a bike anyway.

Cheers in advance.

 

Yep no changes needed.

 

Cheers matey, thought so, didn't want to get some and have other bits needed.

 

Straight swap. Done it on mine

 

No problems. Done it on mine.

 

Excellent, just bought some for mine and looking forward to see the difference.
Was thinking of sending them to MCT to get the checked over and serviced.

 

Went for gold ones.

 

Did you get them re-valved ?

 

Got them from this forum. They did come with different valves, K tech, I think. And Ohlins springs inside.

 

Eh no you didn't.................Your forks are not the BPF's off a 2012+ they are off a 2010 blade!

The only upgrade option for the BPF setup is a cartridge upgrade!
Some places will still do a revalve but the recommendation is a cartridge upgrade kit.

 

I think you are correct.

 

I know I am dude!

 

I bought them for the gold colour.

 

I won't be getting Ohlins cartridges as rather proper Ohlins forks with spend that much.
Wanted them now, but list of other gear getting longer.

 

It was purely serendipitous , I bought them for the gold outer case.
I might purchase gold wheels next or just wait for the 2017 blade.

 

Difference is night and day... I have the BPF and matching rear shock ...

Unless they have done more than 10k and older than 3yrs old I'd leave the service.

Mine were barely 2 years old with 1,100 miles on so chucked them straight in...
