The role, classification, installation and maintenance of motorcycle shock absorbers

In order to mitigate and attenuate shocks and vibrations caused by bumpy roads during driving, ensure the smoothness and comfort of the vehicle and improve the service life and stability of motorcycles. Shock device.

The role of motorcycle shock absorbers Motorcycle shock absorbers play a large role, can quickly attenuate the impact and vibration caused by changes in speed, load and a variety of road conditions, will automatically adjust the vibration resistance to the best state of the art, The shock absorbing performance of the motorcycle is greatly improved, and the adaptability, comfort, stability and safety of the motorcycle ride are improved in different degrees.

There are many types of shock absorbers for motorcycle shock absorbers. The majority of motorcycles use cartridge shock absorbers, and only a few use leaf springs. There are many types and varieties of drum shock absorbers, and they generally have the following types:

1, according to the installation location, there is a front shock absorber and rear shock absorber;

2. According to the structural form, there are (a) telescopic tube type front fork hydraulic shock absorber (this is currently the most used front shock absorber in motorcycle); (b) rocker type shock absorber; (c) Rocker lever vertical center shock absorber; (d) Rocker lever tilt center shock absorber.

3, according to the working position of the cylinder, there are (a) inverted shock absorber (ie, the cylinder is located at the top, the piston rod is in the lower); (b) the front-mounted shock absorber (the cylinder is located at the bottom, the piston rod at the top)

4. According to the working media, there are (a) spring-type shock absorbers; (b) air-damped spring-type shock absorbers (due to limited air damping force, the shock absorption effect is not ideal, generally only for speed is not High-golf motorcycles are used as rear shock absorbers; (c) Hydraulically-damped shock absorbers; (d) Oil-air combined front fork shock absorbers. (e) Nitrogen-filled hydraulic shock absorbers.

5. According to the direction of damping force, there are (a) one-way acting shock absorbers; (b) two-way acting shock absorbers.

6, according to load adjustment points, there are (a) spring initial pressure adjustment type; (b) gas spring type; (c) installation angle adjustment type.

Motorcycle shock absorber installation requirements 1, confirm whether the new shock absorber model is consistent with the model, motorcycle shock absorber also confirm whether the right and left.

2, confirm the new shock absorber quality status, such as whether the appearance of bumps, oil spills, etc., especially pay attention to whether the piston rod bumps.

3. All nuts should use new parts and be tightened according to the specified parameters of the vehicle to ensure that the tightening and tying of the connection parts meets the parameters stipulated in the vehicle.

4. The tightening of the nuts in the joints should be carried out under the condition that the tires are naturally grounded. The motorcycle shock absorbers should meet the requirements of the entire vehicle.

5. During the installation process, it must be avoided to use a tool to pull the piston rod or rake, touch, or scratch the piston rod. This will cause the shock absorber to leak oil.

6, after the installation of shock absorbers to check their working conditions, motorcycle shock absorber base is skewed, should be promptly removed, otherwise it will affect the normal work of the shock absorber.

Motorcycle shock absorber maintenance methods 1, the use of a regular manufacturer of shock absorbers to ensure driving safety and economical use.

2. Please drive steadily, motorcycle shock absorbers to reduce the abnormal impact on the shock absorber.

A. Slow down on poorer roads;

B. Minimize rapid acceleration, sudden braking, and sharp turns;

C. Try not to overload.

3. Regularly check if the parts related to the shock absorber are normal or not. Motorcycle shock absorbers such as dust cover, buffer block, vibration isolation block, etc., should be promptly replaced if they are found damaged or aged. And try to use the parts of the regular manufacturers.

4, always check the tire pressure is normal, keep within the specified range.

5. Always clean your car, especially the clean shock absorber section.

6, shock absorbers must be replaced in pairs, motorcycle shock absorbers must use the same manufacturer of products.
