It looks very beautiful. But it bounces.
The rear shock of the ADDRESSV125S was damaged due to age-related deterioration, so we replaced it with a reliable KITACO shock.
The replacement itself is easy, just a 14mm Glasses Wrench, Phillips Screwdriver and a 10mm or 12mm Socket.
The overall length is the same as the OEM model (315mm), so it can be replaced without any change in ride height. The replacement was completed easily in about 30 minutes.
Pre-road is not touched and hung, and when I finally got on it, it bounced on bumps anyway. (Always one person on board)
I think the Spring rate is high due to the small number of Spring rolls, and I don't feel much improvement in traction, which I was hoping for the most.
I'm going to try to adjust it with pre-road adjustment etc., but I don't have high expectations for it. It is just too sticky and not at all flexible.
The effective Stroke seems to be short and I am wondering about the damping force against the Spring rate. I can't even feel the damping force.
It is too hard to shrink and too resilient. It is like the four wheels of ShacoTan.
The damaged OEM suspension was also Large approximate, but I didn't expect it to bounce more than that. Perhaps the OEM was more supple with the way the Spring was wrapped.
I thought it was a shame because it looks beautiful and the details look well made.

Keep the factory preload spacer for a Gen 2 CT125
Firstly Zeta make awaesome products and quality is always top notch, now regarding this product I recomend keeping the factory preload spacer tubes and not using the ones from ZETA that come in the pack as they are shorter (less preload) than what the factory spacers are in a JA65 / Gen 2. I cannot comment for a JA55 / Gen 1. SO if you just undow the fork cap bolts, just drop in the Zeta adjustable preload bolt set to about a third of the travel on the bolt, you will be away with a nice level fork when riding. View detail
Sports feel UP
It is unusual to have a Link Plate that is not Lowdown.
It is as if the LINK ratio has changed and the Spring rate has been increased.
I don't think the ride in town is as bad as I thought it would be.
Rear movement was tightened.

Try to install it
The head of the cap bolt does not fit due to an error in the dimensions of the product's mounting holes. (I screwed it up forcibly.)
Insufficient explanation in the InstallationInstruction Manual (There is no description of the front and rear Bolt attached to the product. I think it is probably StopperBolt)
The Instruction Manual notes that the Side Stand will be standing up, but it will stand up quite a bit, so it needs to be modified.
It is written that the rear suspension tension should be increased to avoid interference, but even if the tension is increased, the reserver will hit the suspension when the rider straddles it, and it is impossible to ride without modifying the cowl or replacing it with a suspension without reserver.
However, the effect of Lowdown is immensely Large.

Effective
1G´ was about 40%, so it was installed for adjustment.
Installation requires an octagonal Special Tool on the OEMTop cap. 34mm or larger MONKEY is also acceptable.
25R is relatively easy because there is no damping adjustment etc. on the Top, so the Cap just stops at the Nut.
In addition, you should also loosen the RightCap and adjust it to Large atmospheric pressure, if you loosen it. Pshaw." And it sounded pretty good.
We weigh 65kg, and 10 clicks out of 30 clicks of adjustment range settled at 1G´30%.
There are still 20Clicks remaining, so there is plenty of room for adjustment.
I think the Gold color is closer to Orange than OEM, but I am generally satisfied.

Used in 25R
Used for 10R BFRC diversion at 25R.
The exterior of the car is not cheap, but it does not have a luxurious feel to it, as there are some blade marks left from shaving.
I also wish there was Black in the Color variations.
As for the ride, I could tell it was stiffer just by paying STAND after installation.
I used to apply Pre-road, but 1G´ became less, so I changed it to Pre-all-removed.
We weigh 65kg and have about 25% 1G´ Stroke without all pre.
In fact, the ride does not feel as bad as the impression I got from hand-pushing.
In Corner, the 25R's buttocks drop and the feeling of too much movement is mitigated, which is a good thing.

Improved footwork
Introduced for the purpose of slightly improving the footing of the wife when she rides.
Since the suspension replacement seemed to be a bit time-consuming, only the link plate was replaced while the suspension was set to NORMAL.
We chose the Daytona product because it had the lowest price.
To avoid stress on the Flange when removing the Silencer Bolt, it is recommended to hang the Silencer from the Grab Bar with a string, etc., so that the Silencer can be installed without removing the exhaust pipe (without inadvertently removing the O2 Sensor Coupler and putting on the EngineCheckLamp). Silencer can be installed without removing the exhaust pipe (without accidentally removing the Coupler of the O2 Sensor and attaching EngineCheckLamp).
As an effect of the replacement, the footing is improved by about 2 cm, but more than that, the suspension becomes more supple, or rather, the thrust is eased, and the ride is very comfortable.
On the other hand, the tread seems weakened and CorneringSpeed is reduced.
It seems that lowering the Front also improves the Balance, but we plan to examine this after seeing how it looks for a while in this state.
Also, this product is colorful, but realistically, I think you can only choose Silver or Black. I also think that the product is colorful, but in reality, you can only choose between Silver and Black.

Motorcycle became standing up.
A must for short Rider!
I think it is a solid product at a lower price than other manufacturers' products.
Increasing the amount of front projection made the Motorcycle stand up.
I got my STAND shortened.
Manufacturer says that STAND processing is not necessary, but it may be dangerous depending on where you stop.

Thank God we have this Spring!
The front and rear suspension of the MVAGUSTA F3-800RC is very stiff and not rideable.
Spring rate before and after must be dropped.
This Hyper pro spring is for the F4-Brutale 800, but it could be used for its sibling, the F3, because it has the same suspension. Also, the fact that the F4-BRUTALE800's ride quality was improved according to Webike's impressions was also a boost.
To replace the spring, the rear suspension must be removed by jacking up the rear side, and the spring must be removed with a special tool. This requires a certain amount of maintenance skill. If you find it difficult, you should ask a specialized store to do the work.
After replacement, a test run with the 1G sag together showed that the Rear suspension operates more effectively than the OEM Spring. The bumps on the road surface were reduced. And the ground feel at the Corner was also improved.
However, F3 still feels hard in the latter half of Stroke even after Spring replacement, probably due to the LINK characteristic problem of Rear suspension. After this Spring replacement, we introduced an external LINK for one rider, and finally the ride quality became satisfactory.
Finally, I am very happy with this Hyper pro Spring, but I gave it 4 stars because I felt the price was too high.

It was good
The push-up from the road surface has been alleviated, making it easier to ride. View detail
Large! Recommendation is to be incorporated at the first overhaul of the Fork!
[How is it used?
Daily city driving and short to long distance touring.
No Circuit runs.
Was the one you received as per Image?
There were more Parts than I expected.
Was the installation difficult?
I was told that I needed a specialized tool, so I removed the Fork at the Motorcycle shop I always ask for, and sent it to the distributor to be replaced.
How was your experience with it?
Compared to the OEM Fork, it moves more firmly, but not so softly, and it moves and sticks to the road surface precisely as needed.
The OEM was easy to understand the extension side and difficult to understand the pressure side, but after replacing with Ma Bird's, there is a change in the amount of adjustment in both cases, which is very good.
Pre-road will be about OEM without all the Pre-road, so Spring designation at the time of purchase. (free) is also a good choice. Spring, which is a little softer, may be better for the range of adjustment.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
None at all!
I wish I had replaced it earlier if I could have experienced such a difference.

About Short Stand,
Lowdown itself is perfect, I think the included Short Stand should be 10mm shorter at 50mm Lowdown to stabilize the car body. View detail
feel refreshed
The movement of Front has become a crisp feeling.
There is a slight lumpiness, but it is not considered to be a bothersome Level.
These are parts that do not change the appearance of the vehicle, but they do change the way it rides.

Diverted to CL250
It is for REBEL250, and a certain shop had released a video of it being installed.
I tried to imitate and install it.
The Fork diameter of REBEL and CL250 are the same, but the Pitch of the Top Bridge and Bottom bracket are different, so an O-ring (*) is added and adjusted for installation.
Still, it is a little short and the Rubber at the bottom protrudes a little.
Since someone has already explained how to install it, we will omit it here.
*Please enter the following as a Quantity:Pair (for Left and Right) We prepared two of them, one for each.

OLINK 35.5X3 (NOK)
I thought it was a plastic part until it arrived, but it was made of steel and had a nice texture,
The front is blacked out, which tightens it up considerably.
It's only an OEMOption.
The non-reusable bolts (Caliper bolt, FenderMounting bolt) that are removed in the process required for replacement are securely attached and can also be used on the CL250.
There are a variety of similar parts available, but they are very affordable as long as you can install them on your own.
(I think the labor cost will be more expensive if you ask the Shop to do it for you.)
However, there are two drawbacks.
First:Low accuracy of installation.
It is fixed between the Blinker and the bottom bracket.
The inner diameter of the Fork Guard is 1.5mm wider than the Fork Diameter.
When the Cover is shaken, the top of the Cover hits the Fork inside and makes a cracking sound.
It should be installed in the same condition in REBEL's SEdition.
Unlike the REBEL, the CL250 is a vehicle designed for driving on rough roads.
It will definitely scratch the Fork due to internal rubbing and vibration.
If it is the top of the Fork, it is functional even if it is scratched.
It would be strange to see more scratches because of the Cover.
Rubber sheet was wrapped inside to prevent vibration.
0.Wrap a 5mm-thick rubber sheet around the interior and attach only a portion of 1mm.
The former alone still moves, so I use a combination of different thicknesses.
0.If you wrap 5mm and 1mm half way around each, it should be perfectly fixed.
We gave a little extra room because it would be troublesome if the rubber deteriorated and became stuck or shifted during installation.
Second:Water gets in, it doesn't get out.
There is a slight overlap with the first one, but there is a gap between Fork and Cover.
Avoid high water pressure when washing the car with or without the addition of Rubber Sheet.
The rubber attached to the bottom is firm enough so that even if water gets inside, it won't come out from the bottom.
Both Fork and Cover are rusty.
To be precise, the iron Cover rusts first, and the Fork receives rust.
It is recommended for CL250 as well, although some work is required.

I would like those who find R7 hard to ride to give it a try!
When I first started working on the R7, the Rear suspension was always a concern.
I weigh about 53kg, and adjusting the pre-road and damping settings alone did not give me the right balance I wanted, and when I set the dampers too firm, the rear end would go wild and I would feel noticeably tired. I had them installed at the store in the hope that it would help. As a result, the feeling of the bumps on my buttocks on the way to my house and the feeling of the ground when I turn have changed considerably, so if you are dissatisfied with the Rear suspension but not with the R7, I recommend you to consider it.

The quality of the ride has changed.
The overall impression of Suspension was a sense of solidity.
What is noteworthy in this firmness is that it is firm but absorbs road seams and Gaps well.
The good thing about the firmness is that the shape of the road surface and the Grip of the Tire are transmitted to the Motorcycle through the buttocks. If the shape of the road surface is easy to understand, the unevenness of the road surface is likely to be conveyed to the motorcycle, but this is not the case, and I think this is the beauty of NITRON. I feel that NITRON reduces fatigue during touring because it can understand the road conditions well and absorb large gaps well.
I think the secret is the adjustment mechanism on the Compression high speed side of the damping force!
The overall texture of the Suspension also feels luxurious. I'm glad I bought it.

Product # FDH-21
I'm planning on doing a lot of fork maintenance on my Honda Monkey. Little by little I collect consumables. I decided to try the anthers from NTB, since a year ago I replaced the anthers with original ones from Honda and they were cracked, I hope this will not happen here. In general, the quality of the products from this manufacturer is quite satisfactory, there are no comments. View detail
