HOW-TO: Install NIX-22 Öhlins Fork Cartridge Kit on your Yamaha R3

#Ohlins #YZFR3 #Suspension
In this video I am upgrading the OEM front suspension by installing the NIX-22 Öhlins Fork Cartridge Kit (FKS 203) on my 2018 Yamaha YZF-R3. These cartridges features compression damping in the left leg and rebound damping in the right leg. These adjustments and the preload are all done via the top caps.

I purchased my kit from Sportbike Track Gear. They offer amazing service and super fast shipping.
