Neither good nor bad
After driving about 20,000 km in 3 years since replacing the external suspension, I felt that it was worn out, so I replaced the external suspension with an OEM Rear Suspension instead of overhauling it.
Motorcycle Rear Suspension
Rear Suspension (Rear shock) improves stability and maneuverability during riding by mainly absorbing the road surface gap. 。 To briefly introduce the structure, there is a Spring around a component called Damper, and the Damper absorbs (dampens) the impact received by the Spring, so that the Spring does not jump around forever.
[Merit of Motorcycle Rear Suspension
The impact of the impact when running can be reduced.
→ Better ride quality.
Damage to the vehicle body is also reduced. 。
In addition, suspension keeps the tire in place on the road surface by absorbing shock. 。
As a result, stable Grip can be ensured.
Of course, the Rear Suspension also has a standard life span, or replacement or overhaul.
The life of the Rear Suspension. For Motorcycle
The timings that should be considered for overhaul of the suspension are generally about 20,000km or about 2 years.
What kind of symptoms do you often hear about Rear Suspension going bad?
Downs Symptoms of Motorcycle
...Curve has become difficult to turn.
The height of the car seems to have been lowered.
... while running "Giggle." The noise is called "noise".
This may occur when symptoms such as the following appear. In such a case, it is Overhaul replacement regardless of the distance or the number of years.
I thought about replacing it because I felt the lack of convergence of the road surface Gap and the strange noise with my Case.
When it comes to replacement, I think we have two choices:external and OEM.
The characteristics of each are
Outside the Company Overhaul is possible. Expensive. Rides crisp and clear.
[OEM] The basic overhaul is not possible (but it may be cheaper to buy one). (It is hard because it is designed for tandem and loading. It is more suited for touring than for sports. Durability is higher than external ones.
I went back to OEM because the outside is Overspecifications. Durability and price were the deciding factors.
The length of normal suspension = 320mm.
Replacement is easy.
(1) Stand Center Stand.
↓
Remove one side at a time and replace one side at a time.
↓
(3) Apply Grease to the stop points of each of the Frame and Swing Arm.
after replacement
I think it's much better than the external one that was damaged.
OEM is not bad, if you use it in Touring Main.
