SKF Low Friction Fork Seal Kit
The primary cause of stiction is the high coefficient of static friction between the stock wiper seals and the stanchion tubes. SKF seals use a proprietary self-lubricating compound that significantly reduces the breakout force required for the suspension to move, eliminating the 'notchy' feel.

Maxima Plush 5wt Fork Oil
Factory oil often lacks the necessary surface tension additives to remain adhered to the upper stanchions. A high-performance fluid with friction modifiers ensures that the bushings and seals remain lubricated throughout the entire stroke, preventing dry-sliding contact.

Fastace Internal Slide Bushing Set
If stiction persists after seal replacement, it indicates a tolerance issue or wear on the PTFE coating of the internal slide bushings. New bushings restore the concentric alignment of the fork tubes, preventing mechanical binding under side-load.
