8 - REAR SHOCK ABSORBER
This motorcycle is equipped with an oil damper with coil spring located at the rear.
The shock absorber is connected to a system of connecting links that confers progressively
in the travel, that is to say in the first part of the travel the damping is soft and while in the
final part the damping hardens. This allows to increase the traction in the first course and
reduce the impact when the motorcycle makes a jump.
The shock absorber has the possibility of two adjustments:
A) Spring preload.
By adjusting the nut that holds the spring, the force of the spring can
be hardened or softened. By turning the nut clockwise, more hardness is achieved, while
turning counterclockwise, more smoothness is achieved.
There is another replaceable spring with different hardness as an accessory, to get a better
fit depending on the weight and skills of the pilot.
B) Rebound.
There is a knob on the top of the shock absorber. It is under the saddle.
By adjusting this parameter, the shock absorber can recover the position after
compression, faster or slower. In the clockwise direction the rebound is faster, while in
the counterclockwise direction the rebound is slower.
