Performance and purpose of kit suspension (Differences compared with standard suspension on commercially available machines)<br />
Spring characteristics<br />
Commercially Purpose To increase comfort when riding in urban areas while<br />
available machine<br />
preventing bottoming when suddenly riding over a gap while<br />
specs<br />
banking on a bend.<br />
Performance/characteristics At the lowest possible spring setting, the air spring effect is<br />
increased depending on the oil level.<br />
An oil lock mechanism is fitted for the purpose of preventing<br />
bottoming (metal contact).<br />
Problem with circuit Instability caused by excessive front dip movement during the<br />
initial braking period.<br />
Stroke cannot be used up. (Stroke stops sharply in the second<br />
half of braking.)<br />
Kit suspension specs Linear spring characteristic can use up the entire range of the stroke while exerting the hold<br />
of the initial braking period.<br />
*Spring load: Depends on the stroke.<br />
