The Athena S41TE47S Inner Fork Bushing External PTFE<\/strong> is a replacement sliding bushing designed for compatible Showa 47 mm motorcycle front forks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The bushing is built around a high-strength steel body<\/strong> capable of withstanding the repeated loads generated during suspension compression and rebound.<\/p>\n

Its external working surface is coated with PTFE<\/strong>, a low-friction material designed to reduce sliding resistance and minimize wear between moving fork components.<\/p>\n

This low-friction interface helps promote smoother telescopic movement and more consistent fork response during repeated suspension cycles.<\/p>\n

The bushing also incorporates a copper treatment<\/strong>, which contributes to corrosion protection and helps support durability in demanding suspension-service conditions.<\/p>\n

The measured size published for this component is 46 \u00d7 48 \u00d7 20 mm<\/strong>, matching the corresponding Showa 47 mm fork-bushing configuration.<\/p>\n

Each package contains one bushing<\/strong>, suitable for servicing one fork leg. For a complete overhaul of both fork legs, two S41TE47S bushings are required together with the corresponding internally PTFE-coated bushings used by the same fork assembly.<\/p>\n

    PTFE Low-Friction Surface<\/h3>\n

    The external PTFE coating creates the sliding interface between the bushing and the corresponding fork component.<\/p>\n

    Reducing friction at this interface helps:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • promote smoother compression and rebound;<\/li>\n
    • reduce sliding resistance;<\/li>\n
    • limit wear between moving surfaces;<\/li>\n
    • improve fork sensitivity;<\/li>\n
    • maintain more consistent suspension response over time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Service Quantity<\/h3>\n

      Each package contains:<\/p>\n

      1 \u00d7 Athena S41TE47S Fork Bushing<\/strong><\/p>\n

      One bushing services one fork leg<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      For a complete two-leg fork service, two S41TE47S bushings are required together with the corresponding Showa 47 mm internal-PTFE bushings.<\/p>\n

      Application & Compatibility<\/h3>\n

      The S41TE47S<\/strong> is designed for compatible Showa 47 mm front forks<\/strong> using the 46 \u00d7 48 \u00d7 20 mm<\/strong> bushing specification.<\/p>\n

      Compatibility should always be verified against the actual fork fitted to the motorcycle, especially where suspension components have previously been changed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
