Hello there!

⚙️ DETAILED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
🚀 TECHNOLOGICAL POWER OF THE K-ULTIMATE RED FLAGSHIP
-
💥 Velvet-Smooth Rides via Compression Damping (12 Clicks): This premium feature allows you to control the downward speed of the piston rod (compression stroke) over bumps. You can soften the compression valve for a plush solo city ride, or stiffen it when hauling heavy camping gear to completely prevent bottoming out into potholes and eliminating frame-jarring "clunks."
-
⚖️ Eradicate Wobble via Rebound Damping (16 Clicks): Precisely controls the extension speed of the shock after compression. The 16-click Rebound adjustment ensures the rear end stops bouncing or floating continuously over speed bumps. The wheels will firmly grip the road surface, entirely neutralizing dangerous rear-end fishtailing when cornering at high speeds.
-
📐 Absolute Peace of Mind with the Length Adjuster: The K-Ultimate allows flexible adjustment from the base 362mm, easily expanding to 365mm (OEM standard), and extending up to a maximum of +10mm (reaching 372mm). This utility allows you to proactively raise ground clearance for water crossings or clearing off-road obstacles perfectly without altering the safe original steering geometry.
-
💨 Gas/Oil Separation with Free-Piston System: The premium piggyback reservoir design completely isolates the compressed Nitrogen gas from the Japanese hydraulic oil using a free-piston. This thoroughly prevents air bubbles from mixing into the oil (cavitation/foaming) during continuous, high-intensity shock oscillation. Damping force remains consistent, preventing "shock fade" during long continuous tours.
🛠️ REAL-WORLD INSTALLATION NOTES FOR HONDA CT125
-
✅ 100% Plug and Play OEM Fitment: The product is designed with precise technical specifications specifically for the Honda CT125. Both the top and bottom mounts use Round Eyelets, perfectly hugging the original frame and swingarm studs, requiring absolutely no custom CNC bracket fabrication.
-
📍 Reservoir Orientation: When physically installed on the Honda CT125, the KYB K-Ultimate shocks are positioned with the piggyback reservoir at the top, facing forward (towards the front of the bike).
-
✂️ Left Side Clearance Note (Drive Chain Side): On the left side, the reservoir mount sits very close to the inner plastic mudguard. When the shock is fully compressed, the angle of the reservoir might slightly rub against the plastic edge. Technicians simply need to make a minor, aesthetic 1-2cm trim to the plastic (or add a washer to the shock mount) to create an absolutely safe operating space.
-
🛡️ Right Side Clearance Note (Exhaust & Rack Side): The right side of the CT125 houses the signature high-mount exhaust and large rear rack. The clearance between the K-Ultimate reservoir and the exhaust heat shield is quite tight. If you have installed aftermarket side racks, crash bars, or leather saddlebags, be sure to adjust the clearance or add spacers to widen the rack mount slightly outward, preventing interference with the shock reservoir over rough terrain.
