10.2.9 Correcting faults in the SR SUNTOUR rear frame damper

10.2.9.1 Rebound too fast
The rear frame damper rebounds too quickly,
producing a "pogo stick" effect or causing the bike
to bounce after the wheel hits a bump and lands
on the ground again. This impairs traction and
control due to the uncontrolled speed at which the
rear frame damper rebounds after deflecting (blue
line).

Troubleshooting, fault clearance and repair
Saddle and handlebars are deflected upwards
when the wheel bounces back from the ground.
The rider's body weight may be shifted upwards
and forwards if the rear frame damper fully
rebounds too quickly (green line).
 The deflection movement is reduced.
