2. Rear spring
The rear spring is a determining factor
in machine stability.
Consider the ground surface condition
and the rider's weight when setting rear
springs. The suspension should be set
as soft as possible, unless it impairs the
stability of the machine.

3. Additional wheel installation
When the machine is driven on icy sur-
faces for a prolonged period of time (for
instance, trail riding), additional wheels
should be installed to protect the slide
runners from fast wear. This is not ad-
visable for a race because the suspen-
sion will be adversely affected.
