Optional Rear Shock Absorber Springs
Various rear shock absorber springs are available
to achieve suitable rear shock absorber action in ac-
cordance with the rider’s weight and track condition.
A harder spring stiffens the shock absorber action
and accelerates the rebound damping.
A softer spring softens the shock absorber action
and slows down the rebound damping.
