    250 MotoGP front forks.

    Can someone explain the front fork set up on the 250 GP bikes.
    It looks like they have 2 upside down forks each side .
    Whats the idea ?
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    Do you mean like this? If so I think its the Nitrogen canister.


    Here's a similiar setup, thought it doesn't specifically say what he extra tube is for, thought it does mention 'completely separated rebound and compression'

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    USDs are good.
    So double the USDs should be twice as good.

    Frosty, pretty sure it's an external reservoir like you'd find on a rear shock...

    I mean, I know the magic they would do to any bike they are fitted to, but even just having them mounted on the wall in your living room would be cool.

    Around 25k NZ$. The cartridge inserts are gas charged and the external reservoirs are indeed nitogen filled. Seperate rebound from compression, left leg compression, right leg rebound. Gas pressure 5 bar.
    The two works Yamaha MotoGP bikes have total TTX technology in them, no shaft displacement, so they only need a very small internal reservoir to account for oil heat expansion only, that is why they do not have external reservoirs.

    This is the trouble with forums isnt it! So many uninformed clueless idiots who make sweeping statements. The forks on those 250 MotoGP bikes are specially hand built by the race department at Ohlins,and are very low volume production, use exotic parts and are not available to the general public.
    They are FAR removed from the ''Road and Track'' production forks that are available for road bikes.
    It would be appropriate that you apologise but Im not holding my breath.
    One day you may lose your job due to overseas competition from parasites in predominantly the US, think about it....

    I don't think he has that much imagination
