Adjusting shock absorber
If the suspension of your mo-
torcycle has been lowered,
the reduction in ground clear-
ance reduces the maximum
possible angle of lean for cor-
nering.
Lowering the suspension re-
duces spring travel. This might
result in a less comfortable
ride.
Consequently, before setting
off you should always adjust
suspension travel and damp-
ing to suit load (
accurately as possible.
