REAR SUSPENSION

The rear suspension is made up of a shock absorber, swing arm,
tie rods and rocker arm.
In general the operating characteristics of the single shock are similar
to the front fork however this is characterized as well as by the shock,
the articulated quadrangle composed of the rods and rocker arm.
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.
