REAR SUSPENSION<br />
(1). Fork tube height<br />
The rear suspension system of this motorcycle is single shock. It<br />
consist of a rear shock absorber, swing arm, tie rods and rocker<br />
arm.<br />
In general the operating characteristics of the single shock are similar<br />
to the front fork. But, in achieving progressive spring characteristics<br />
a linkage system is used.<br />
To suit various riding conditions, the spring preload of the shock<br />
absorber can be adjusted or the spring can be replaced with an<br />
optional one. Also the dampening force can be adjusted easily so<br />
changing oil viscosity is unnecessary.<br />
