ARE YOUR KYB FORKS BEATING YOU UP?
Harsh through rocks, roots and square edges?
Constant feedback through the handlebars?
Front wheel deflecting instead of following the ground?
Fork feels busy through small, repetitive bumps?
Good on bigger hits but uncomfortable through trail trash?
The problem isn't always that your fork needs to be softer.
Flow through the damping system can be a major part of the equation.
INTRODUCING THE N10Z 20MM CONE MID VALVE KIT
MORE FLOW. MORE COMPLIANCE. BETTER FEEL.
The N10Z 20mm Cone Mid Valve Kit replaces the compatible standard KYB 20mm piston / 10mm rod configuration with a high-flow cone valve system.
The complete kit upgrades both sides of the damping system with:
HIGH-FLOW BASE PISTON + SHIMS
and a
COMPLETE 20MM N10Z CONE MID VALVE STEM ASSEMBLY
The big difference?
OVER 3 TIMES MORE AVAILABLE FLOW
through the mid valve and base valve assembly.
That additional flow capacity gives the damping system a much larger window to manage oil movement through the cartridge.
And that's what you feel on the bike.
WHAT YOU'LL FEEL
OUTSTANDING COMPLIANCE
The fork responds more freely to smaller terrain changes, allowing the front wheel to move with the ground rather than fighting against it.
BETTER BUMP ABSORPTION
Rocks, roots, braking bumps and sharp edges are absorbed with less unwanted feedback reaching the rider.
LESS TRAIL TRASH
Those endless little hits that make a fork feel nervous, busy and tiring?
They start to disappear underneath you.
BETTER FRONT-WHEEL FEEL
Improved compliance helps the tyre maintain contact with the terrain, giving you a more connected and predictable feeling at the front.
LESS DEFLECTION
Instead of transferring every sharp impact into the chassis, the fork can absorb more of the terrain and help the bike stay on line.
LESS RIDER FATIGUE
When you're not being hammered through the handlebars all day, you use less energy fighting the bike.
MORE CONFIDENCE
A calmer, more compliant front end lets you concentrate on where you're going instead of what's underneath you.
WHY DOES MORE FLOW MATTER?
Every time your fork compresses, oil has to move through the damping system.
As fork velocity increases, the amount of oil that needs to move through the valve increases dramatically.
If available flow is too restrictive, damping force can rise rapidly.
That's when you can start feeling:
Harshness.
Deflection.
Excessive feedback.
Poor compliance.
The N10Z 20mm system provides over three times more available flow through the mid valve and base valve assembly compared with the configuration it replaces.
BUT MORE FLOW DOESN'T SIMPLY MEAN SOFTER.
The goal isn't to remove damping.
It's to provide greater available flow capacity while using the N10Z cone valve to control the damping response.
HIGH FLOW + CONTROL.
That's the difference.
MOTAERO CONE MID VALVE TECHNOLOGY
At the heart of the kit is the 20mm Motaero Cone Mid Valve.
The cone valve controls oil flow through the mid valve assembly as fork velocity and pressure change.
Combined with the matching high-flow base piston, the complete system provides substantially greater available flow than the standard configuration it replaces.
SMALL TRAIL TRASH?
Improved flow and compliance help the fork absorb it.
ROCKS, ROOTS & SHARP EDGES?
The high-flow system allows the fork to respond without transmitting the same level of harsh feedback to the rider.
FASTER, HARDER RIDING?
The cone valve continues to control the damping response as fork velocity increases.
COMPLIANCE WITHOUT THROWING AWAY CONTROL.
NOT JUST A MID VALVE
This is important.
The Motaero kit isn't simply a replacement mid valve piston.
It upgrades the mid valve and base valve together.
That allows both sides of the damping system to take advantage of the increased flow capacity.
Instead of increasing flow through one component while leaving another restriction in the system, you get a matched high-flow package.
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
Motaero 20mm Cone Mid Valve Kit includes:
2 × COMPLETE N10Z 20MM CONE MID VALVE STEM ASSEMBLIES
Configured to suit compatible 10mm KYB cartridge rods.
WILL IT FIT MY BIKE?
This kit is specifically for compatible KYB fork applications using the 20mm piston / 10mm cartridge rod configuration.
Because KYB has used different cartridge designs and internal dimensions across models and production years, fitment should be confirmed by motorcycle model and year before ordering.
COMPATIBLE KYB APPLICATIONS
Applications can include selected KYB-equipped:
YAMAHA
YZ / YZ-F / WR / WR-F models using the compatible KYB 20mm / 10mm cartridge configuration.

IMPORTANT FITMENT INFORMATION
Not every KYB fork uses the same internal components.
Model, year and fork specification matter.
Before ordering, please provide:
MAKE
MODEL
YEAR
We'll confirm that your fork uses the correct 20mm piston / 10mm rod configuration.
If you're unsure — ask us. We'd rather confirm your fitment before you pull the forks apart.
WHO IS THIS KIT FOR?
The N10Z 20mm Cone Mid Valve Kit is for riders who already have a capable KYB fork but want significantly better compliance and feel from the existing cartridge.
It's ideal if you're chasing:
✓ Less harshness
✓ Better small-bump compliance
✓ Improved rock and root absorption
✓ Reduced deflection
✓ Better front-wheel traction
✓ Less feedback through the handlebars
✓ Reduced rider fatigue
✓ A calmer front end through repetitive trail trash
KEEP YOUR KYB FORKS. CHANGE HOW THEY FEEL.
You don't necessarily need to replace your complete fork.
You don't necessarily need an entirely new cartridge.
The N10Z kit targets the damping components inside your existing compatible KYB cartridge.
The goal isn't simply to make the fork softer.
It's to give the damping system significantly more available flow while retaining the control required as fork velocity increases.
MORE FLOW.
MORE COMPLIANCE.
MORE CONTROL.
FROM TRAIL TRASH TO BIG HITS
Your suspension doesn't experience one type of impact.
One second you're dealing with small chop.
Then a root.
Then a square edge.
Then a braking bump.
Then a fast compression.
The damping system needs to respond across an enormous range of fork velocities.
The combination of the Motaero 20mm Cone Mid Valve and high-flow base piston gives the system increased available flow to manage those changing demands.
That's what creates the feeling we're chasing:
A FRONT END THAT STOPS FIGHTING THE TERRAIN.
