How Do You Know If Your Motorcycle Shocks Are Bad? Symptoms: The ride will feel soft or vague and as speed increases, the rear end will want to wallow and/or weave over bumpy surfaces and traction suffers. Loss of traction will cause rear end to pogo or chatter due to shock returning too fast on
Can I Put A Racing Bike Forks On My Harley? Modern Harley-Davidsons tend to have much larger diameter fork tubes than earlier models, with 49mm being a common size. Typically, the larger and heavier the model motorcycle, the more heavy-duty, and thus larger diameter, the fork tubes and entire fork assembly. What is an inverted
Do Dirt Bikes Have Stiff Suspension? Solution: Your fork springs or LSC settings are too stiff, and it’s possible your fork tubes are not overlapping enough. Combat this by installing softer springs, turning out your compression adjuster a few clicks, and increasing your fork tube overlap five millimeters. Which is better soft or stiff suspension?
Do New Sport Bikes Use Damping Rods? Not everyone needs a steering damper. There are many situations that can be improved by adding one to your motorcycle. Riding rough terrain, whether asphalt or off road, can be helped with a stabilizer. Allowing the damper device to absorb those constant bar movements reduces rider fatigue and
How Dirt Bike Forks Work? When the fork compresses (when braking or hitting a bump), oil forces apart the spring-loaded valve on one side. This side gives compression damping. When the fork expands (on rebound), the fork expands, and oil forces apart the spring-loaded valve on the other side. How does a cartridge fork work?
Does Changing Fork Oil Make A Difference? Does changing fork oil make a difference? Heavier oil will increase the effective damping, in other words the forks will move up and down a little slower and feel stiffer. Lighter weight oil will do the opposite, allowing the forks to move up and down faster and feel
