REAR SUSPENSION

The rear suspension system of this motorcycle is single shock. It
consist of a rear shock absorber, swing arm, tie rods and rocker
arm.
In general the operating characteristics of the single shock are similar
to the front fork. But, in achieving progressive spring characteristics
a linkage system is used.
To suit various riding conditions, the spring preload of the shock
absorber can be adjusted or the spring can be replaced with an
optional one. Also the dampening force can be adjusted easily so
changing oil viscosity is unnecessary.
