- Kami telah menghimpunkan satu panduan bagi mengenal pasti simptom suspensi.
- Panduan mengenal pasti ini lebih mudah untuk diingati dan digunakan.
- Kami mulakan dengan pelarasan pra muatan.
We touched on the basics of suspension set ups some time ago (click here for the article). We decided that a guide on troubleshooting suspension symptoms is easier to understand and remember.
Please refer to the previous article below for the basics on what suspension preload, compression damping and rebound damping.
Virtually all motorcycles are fitted with it, hence it’s where we should start.
To recap, preload affects your suspension’s sag. “Adding” preload causes that end of the motorcycle to rise, and vice versa. However, it DOES NOT adjust the suspension’s stiffness. The “stiff” impression when you crank up the preload is due to the reduced the sag. Think of sag as “freeplay.” Remember, sag DOES NOT affect the spring rate, either.
Preload adjustment affects your bike’s ride height hence chassis geometry. For example, you can have the bike turn into corners quicker by having more preload at the back or less in front. Conversely, you use less preload at the back or a little more in front for more stability in corners.
Stay tuned for Part 2 tomorrow.
