Description:

Screws and wheel at every turn, but hardly anyone dares ran to fork or shock. MOTORCYCLE explains how, even without studying mechanical engineering specifically and individually makes his motorcycle chassis legs.


Since the designers buy modern aircraft every imaginable setting, but very few cyclists use the potential. In the hope that the vote will match some, many have simply stay away from the Stellschräubchen on the chassis. But do not worry, each technique is mastered, it also springs and dampers have a concrete plan and optimize the “How” in the desired direction.

Step one begins with the view of the driver’s manual and the adjustment of the data given. In general, these are good as a basic setup for an ambitious 75-kilo-Kradler. If you do not fit into this grid, or even your hands messy little book, have no drama: just go on like this.

Helmet, motor, run! Machine run hot. Why? Because the hydraulic oil in the fork and shock changed by the shock movement. In the fork to mix the oil with air, resulting in an emulsion, the damping force has less than a non-foamed, cold oil. The spring leg is the oil for the most part separated from the gas cushion pressure heats up but while driving through the pedals work and the heat the engine and therefore also loses slightly damping force.
