Product information
Generally, the vehicle has too much damping in the fork, but too little in the shock absorber. This leads to a loss of direct driving feel.
Originally, linear fork springs were mounted in the fork. These have been replaced by progressive fork springs at Wilbers, which leads to a much better response in the beginning and offers more reserve in the second, harder spring rate than the stock. With simultaneous adjustment of the fork oil and the air chamber, the general setting was optimised here.
The suspension geometry on the front and rear axle was sensibly adjusted via the negative spring deflections.
Originally, the vehicle had slightly too much negative spring travel. By making the shock absorber minimally shorter, the seat height remains as original.
In addition, the rebound and compression damping has been optimised.
This results in a better ride and better handling, which also contributes to a safer ride.
With this shock absorber the compression tank is connected to the shocks´ body by a flexible steel hose. Therefore it is an ideal alternative for road motorcycles with limited space. The hose can be placed individually where there is enough space for example on the rear frame where air flow can provide additional cooling. The adjustment screws for high- and low-speed compression, each tunable in 22 clicks, can be easily reached from the outside. Rebound can be modified by an open bleed system in 22 clicks and the preload is continuously adjustable.
