Motorcycle shock absorbers have two important features. The rugged terrain gives the car body vibration. The motorcycle shock absorber makes the ride more comfortable. At the same time, the tire is kept in contact with the ground to ensure the tire power output to the ground. Unlike cars, motorcycle shock absorbers will also greatly affect the handling and cornering stability of motorcycles.
Motorcycle shock absorbers are generally composed of two parts: a spring and a damper. The spring is the main part of the suspension. This spring is usually like a spring in a ballpoint pen, but it is much stronger. The spring absorbs the impact of the ground through the elastic member and ensures contact between the tire and the ground.
The damper is a device for controlling the spring tightness and resilience. The speed at which the air pump moves up and down depends on the size of the through hole and the viscosity of the oil. All cars have springs and damping, the springs are hidden on the front forks, and the rear shock absorbers are exposed to the outside.
The suspension on the front and rear wheels is separated and can be responded to according to the road conditions and the way of riding. Preparation for adjusting the motorcycle shock absorber: Depending on the model, we can usually adjust its preload, damping, compression ratio and rebound ratio.
The preload of the motorcycle shock absorber is the weight-based spring tension; the damping is the speed at which the spring contracts and bounces back to the original; the compression ratio is a deeper level of damping control, which mainly controls the speed at which the spring contracts; and the rebound ratio is deeper. A level of damping control that primarily controls the spring to return to normal speed from the compressed state.
