This time, I would like to talk about suspensions, and among them, dampers.
Some cars have factory-adjustable dampers, but how do you use them? What is it to adjust in the first place? I think many riders wonder how to use it.
As usual, priority has been given to ease of understanding and memorization, so there may be some parts that are not strictly engineering correct (not fully explained). We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Dumping? Damping force? What is that?
Almost all modern motorcycles are equipped with front and rear suspension. The front fork and rear shock units that make up the front and rear suspension consist of springs and dampers, respectively, and most models use oil dampers for these dampers.
This is a long story, so I will skip it this time. Dampers are generally constructed to generate resistance by narrowing the passageway through which oil passes in the unit.
It would be easier to understand if you think of it as a brake for suspension, which reduces the speed of movement by applying resistance.
The strength of this brake is called damping or damping force.
It seems difficult because we use words that are unfamiliar to us in our daily lives.
