Suspension Fork

Troubleshooting Problems suspension.
Adjustment locations: Forks Rebound adjustment (if applicable) is located near the top of the fork. Compression adjustment (if applicable) is located near the bottom of the fork. Adjusting the spring preload (if applicable) is generally hex style and located in the top of the fork. Lack of Rebound Symptoms: • Forks are plush, but increasing speed causes loss of control and traction • The motorcycle wallows and tends to leave the array in turn cause discoloration and loss of traction control. • When taking a corner a speed, you experience front-end speech, loss of traction and control. • Input aggressive speed control in the lessons and chassis attitude suffers. • Front end is not recovered after aggressive entry on uneven surfaces. Solution: Insufficient rebound. Increase rebound "gradually" until control and traction are optimized and chatter gone. Too much rebound symptoms: • The front end feels locked up resulting in harsh ride. • Suspension of surgeries and does not return, taking a walk hard. Usually after the first bump, the bike will skip over subsequent bumps and want to get the front. • With the acceleration, the front of tank slap or shake violently due to lack of contact between the wheel front tire. Solution: Too much rebound. Decrease rebound "gradually" until control and traction are optimized. The lack of understanding Symptoms: • Front-end dives severely, sometimes bottoming out over heavy bumps or during aggressive breaking. • Front feels soft or vague similar to lack of kickback. • When bottoming, a noise is heard. This is due to reach the bottom of fork travel. Solution: Insufficient compression. Increase "gradually" until control and traction are optimized. Too much compression Symptom: • extreme rides striker high on curves, causing the bike to steer wide. It should maintain pre-determined sag, which will set the direction remains constant. Solution: Decrease compression "gradually" until bike neither funds nor rides high. Symptom: • front end chat or shakes entering turns. This is due to incorrect oil height and / or low speed compression damping too. Solution: First, verify that the oil height is correct. If correct, then decrease compression "gradually" until chattering and shaking ceases. Symptom: • Bumps and waves directly affect the triple clamps and through the chassis. This causes the front wheel to bounce over bumps. Solution: Decrease compression "Gradually" until control is recovered. Symptom: • Ride is generally hard, and it's even harder when braking or entering turns. Solution: Decrease compression "gradually" until control is recovered. Set Locations: rear shock rebound adjustment (if applicable) is in the bottom of the shock. Compression adjustment (if applicable) is in the tank. Spring prelude is located at the top of the shock. Shock: Lack Rebound Symptoms: • The ride will feel soft or vague and as speed increases, the rear end will want and roll or tissue from potholes and surfaces traction suffers /. • Loss of rear drive to cause pogo or chatter due to shock returning too fast when exiting a corner. Solution: Insufficient rebound - Increase rebound until wallowing and weaving disappears and control and traction are optimized. Shock: Too Much Rebound Symptoms: • Drive is hard, suspension control is limited and traction is lost. • Rear pack in, forcing the bike wide in corners, due to rear squat. It will slow steering because front end is very popular. • At the end packages rear tires generally overheat and will skip over bumps. • When cutting the throttle, the rear tends to jump or climb the entries. Solution: Too much rebound. Decrease rebound "gradually" until harsh ride is gone and the traction is regained. Decrease rebound to keep the back of the packaging. Shock: Lack of compression symptoms: • The bike does not turn in entering a curve. • With bottoming, control and traction are lost. • With excessive rear squat, when accelerating in bends, the bike will tend to orient wide. Solution: Insufficient compression. Increase compression "gradually until traction and control is optimized and / or back squat final over is gone. Shock: Too Much Compression Symptoms: • Ride is hard, but not as bad as bouncy as well. As speed increases, also so does the hardness. • There is very little back squat. This will cause loss of traction / sliding. Pull overheating. • Party will want to kick back when you go to medium and large potholes. Solution: Decrease compression until harshness is gone. Decrease compression until sliding stops and traction is recovered.
