SUSPENSION DEFINITIONS
Damping:
Resistance to movement. Damping affects
how easily the suspension can move and limits oscilla-
tions of the system once the movement has begun.
Compression:
The suspension is compressed when the
wheel moves upwards.
Rebound:
The suspension is rebounding when it is
moving back from being compressed.
Vehicle Sag:
The amount the rear shock and fork
springs are compressed by the weight of the motorcycle.
Rider Sag:
The amount the rear shock and fork springs
are compressed by the weight of the rider on the motor-
cycle.
Preload:
An adjustment made to the rear shock and
front fork springs to limit vehicle and rider sag to a
standard percentage of total suspension travel.
Compression and rebound adjusting valves may be
damaged if too much force is used to turn the ad-
justors at either end of the adjustment range.
Before Evaluating and adjusting suspension settings,
check the motorcycles tires. Refer to Table 11. They
must be in good condition and properly inflated.
