Components that make a motorbike very comfortable to ride, one of them is the suspension or shockbreaker. Nah, to keep working well, These shock absorbers must continue to receive attention as well.
Routine maintenance ensures that the suspension remains durable and comfortable when used on various road characteristics such as over potholes or bumpy roads. Yamaha Indonesia also provides several easy tips to ensure the suspension remains durable.
Keep the suspension clean
If dirt sticks to the suspension work area, if it is not cleaned, it will scratch the inner tube or suspension rod, which will cause the suspension to leak and reduce the quality of the suspension work..
It is best to wash the motorbike regularly and clean the suspension area thoroughly. If you get caught in the rain, immediately rinse/wash the motorbike, Also make sure the suspension area is safe. The corrosion properties of rainwater can slowly damage the suspension.
Avoid damaged roads
Uneven or rocky roads can put additional stress on the suspension. Traveling on roads like this too often will of course reduce the life of the suspension. So when you are forced to go over an uneven road, you have to drive extra carefully and not speed so that it can help ease the suspension's work.
Speeding on rocky roads is very risky, can cause the suspension to leak due to continuous shaking. Don't forget to be careful and avoid rocks or objects that are too big to pass.
Do not carry too heavy a load
Motorcycles have a maximum permitted load limit according to the owner's manual. If you have to carry an extra load, then the performance of your motorbike will of course be reduced significantly.
One of the functions that is disrupted due to carrying too heavy a load is the suspension function. The suspension will work extra hard when the load being carried exceeds maximum capacity.
