Every component reflects K-Tech's obsessive attention to material quality and surface finish — this is not a budget upgrade, it is a race-ready rebuild built to last.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25 mm Independent Damping System (25IDS) gives separate, precise control over compression and rebound circuits without one affecting the other.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24 clicks of independent compression adjustment and 30 clicks of independent rebound adjustment allow exceptionally fine damping calibration for every track or road condition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncreased travel over the original cartridge unlocks more suspension stroke and improved wheel control under hard braking and corner entry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAerospace-grade aluminium construction paired with hard-anodised, super-finished surfaces ensures long service life and consistent damping under sustained heat and load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproved for Superstock 1000 classes, making this kit a genuine race-legal solution straight from the box.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide spring range (36-260 series) available separately, allowing precise spring rate selection to match rider weight and riding style.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuild Quality and Materials\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 25IDS system is machined from high-grade aluminium alloy to exacting tolerances, then treated with a hard-anodised super finish that reduces friction and resists wear even after repeated full-stroke compression cycles. The result is a cartridge that moves with exceptional consistency lap after lap, delivering the kind of feedback that lets a rider commit to the braking zone with confidence. At 659.50 mm overall length and a 125 mm stroke, the geometry integrates cleanly into the GSX-R 1000's original fork legs without modification to the lower legs or yokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerformance and Tuning\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndependent damping adjustment is the defining advantage of the 25IDS design. Compression and rebound circuits operate entirely separately, so dialling in more rebound control to handle a bumpy chicane exit does not inadvertently stiffen the compression response into the next braking zone. K-Tech's suggested baseline settings — 12 clicks compression, 18 clicks rebound, 8 mm preload — give a proven starting point from which riders can build a setup tailored to circuit, tyre compound and personal preference. The 36-260 spring series covers a broad range of rider weights; springs must be ordered separately to ensure the correct rate is matched to the individual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cartridge kit is designed and validated specifically for the following motorcycle:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSuzuki GSX-R 1000 — model years 2012 to 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation by an authorised K-Tech Service Centre is strongly recommended to ensure correct assembly, bleed procedure and baseline setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e125-012-230-020\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSystem\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 mm Independent Damping System (25IDS)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInner diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e659.50 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStroke\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e125 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompression adjustment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 clicks independent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRebound adjustment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 clicks independent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuggested compression setting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 clicks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuggested rebound setting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 clicks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuggested preload\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpring series (sold separately)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36-260 series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHomologation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuperstock 1000 approved\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuzuki GSX-R 1000 (2012–2023)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"K-Tech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53168842408202,"sku":"125-012-230-020","price":1992.91,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/25IDS_Piston_b3877655-377a-47ab-99b8-61e1961314bd.png?v=1780817204","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-nz\/products\/k-tech-25ids-open-stk-cartridge-kit","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
