Fork Spring for Kawasaki Z900: Waterproof Version
This fork spring is built for the Kawasaki Z900 and supplied to a written specification, so the part that comes off the line in the next order matches the one you approved. Fitment, base material and finish are fixed before sampling starts — that is what keeps the waterproof version programme stable once it moves from first order to repeat order.
Most buyers come to us after something went wrong: documentation that arrived after the container shipped, or a supplier who changed material without saying so. Both are avoidable when the specification is written down before bulk and the approved sample is kept as the reference.

What decides whether it lasts
- Material — Chromed Steel is the base; treat any substitution as a new approval.
- Hardness and heat treatment — recorded per lot, not per batch of paperwork.
- Fitment tolerance — checked on the actual Kawasaki Z900 mounting, not on a catalogue drawing.
- Finish — zinc plating holds up where the machine sees salt, mud and daily washing.
- Packing — individual packing plus inner cartons sized for the workshop bench.
Processes used on this line
- CNC machining
- injection moulding
- surface grinding

- electroplating
- assembly line testing
Fitment notes
Keep the old part until the new one is on the bench. Comparing them side by side settles questions a photograph never will.
Where it is used
The waterproof version build is the one most often ordered for roadside assistance. Riders also fit it for mountain roads, track days, adventure travel, food delivery.
Ordering
- Confirm the model year and frame number before ordering.
- Approve a sample made from the actual bulk material.
- Fix the packing and marking at quotation stage.
- Book inspection before the balance payment, not after it.
Questions buyers ask
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 14 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 1000 pieces per line.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the RoHS-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Send the part number, the annual volume and the target market, and we will come back with a specification and a sampling plan.
