MOTORCYCLE SHOCK ABSORBER FUNCTION:


The motorcycle shock absorber has the important function of controlling the oscillatory movements of the spring, responsible for supporting the weight of the vehicle and absorbing road irregularities. It works by reducing the impact of road imperfections, providing a more stable, safe, and comfortable ride for the rider.

ARE NAKATA MOTORCYCLE SHOCK ABSORBERS GOOD?

Nakata Motorcycle Shock Absorbers are highly qualified, providing exceptional quality and performance. The Conventional Shock Absorber features a dual-action hydraulic system, vulcanized seal, and chrome finish, ensuring quick responses, leak protection, and increased resistance to oxidation. On the other hand, the Monoshock Absorber offers high-strength materials, chrome finish, a hydraulic system for greater comfort, reinforced seal, and a robust spring, guaranteeing durability and impact absorption. With extensive coverage, Nakata shock absorbers are a reliable choice for safety and performance.

TYPES OF MOTORCYCLE SUSPENSION:

There are two types of rear suspension on motorcycles: the conventional type, which includes two shock absorbers with integrated springs, and the monoshock type, which features a central shock absorber with an integrated spring. The monoshock suspension is more commonly used in off-road, trail, and sport motorcycles.

THE SHOCK ABSORBER DOESN'T WORK ALONE

In addition to replacing the motorcycle shock absorber, it is important to keep an eye on other components. Check if the swingarm and frame are in good condition. The frame needs to be properly aligned, and the rear swingarm must not be bent or damaged. Also, pay attention to the bushings that support the central axis of the swingarm; they should not have any play. Otherwise, the shock absorbers will be overloaded, reducing their lifespan. It is essential to ensure that the shock absorbers, bushings, and springs are in good condition to avoid compromising the motorcycle's handling and safety. Finally, make sure that the preload adjustment is appropriate for the weight that will be carried.

HOW TO DETECT PROBLEMS?

When checking the motorcycle shock absorber, it is possible to identify problems visually, such as oil leaks or fastening failures. During riding, it is important to be attentive to changes in the motorcycle's behavior, such as loss of stability, handling issues, and increased braking distance. Additionally, it is essential to observe irregular tire wear, as it can indicate problems with the shock absorber. These signs are crucial for ensuring the safety and proper performance of the motorcycle.
