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 />
