Choosing the right product for your motorcycle can sometimes be a challenge. The mounting process can sometimes cause problems or not work right away. Therefore we have answered the most questions from our customers on this subject. You will find all the information you need here.
The rear suspension performs two basic functions: supporting the weight of the bike’s rear while maintaining traction and control while riding on uneven surfaces. The rear suspension needs to be tuned to accommodate varying loads and weight distribution, supporting the rider’s weight and the motorcycle’s structure.
It comprises of a piston that moves within the shock body, creating resistance by forcing hydraulic fluid through small openings to provide damping. The spring absorbs and releases energy from bumps and road irregularities, maintaining the height and supporting the motorcycle's weight. The damping mechanism controls the speed of compression and rebound, preventing excessive bouncing and ensuring your stability and control. A well-functioning rear suspension significantly improves your bike's handling and comfort, ensuring a safer and more comfortable ride.
At Cafe Racer Webshop, the price of rear suspension parts depends on the brand and quality. For example, we offer high-quality shock absorbers from YSS and Hagon, as well as more affordable ones from Emgo. We offer prices that vary depending on the specific model and compatibility with different bikes, whether you prefer a premium upgrade or a budget friendly choice, we have the perfect one for you.
To choose the right shock absorbers for your motorcycle, it's essential to consider your bike’s make and model, as well as your riding style. Not all shock absorbers are universal but lucky for you, at Cafe Racer Webshop, we offer custom build shock absorbers to make the job easier for you. Different shock absorbers are designed to handle different conditions—whether you're aiming for maximum comfort, high performance, or off-road durability.
To ensure your shock absorbers are in good shape, it’s important to inspect them regularly, as you are at risk of damage every time you ride. Signs of deterioration can range from whether your ride feels bumpier than usual or poor rebound, sagging suspension or unusual noises. Pay close attention to leaking fluid down the sides as well. Since suspension setup is a personal and crucial aspect of riding safety, it’s best to inspect your bike’s needs on an individual basis.
Shock absorbers can become worn over time, and this is incredibly dangerous for any road user if left unchecked. Worn shock absorbers can lead to a loss of control of the motorcycle, so it’s crucial to stay attentive, as this poses a safety risk to both you and others on the road. The question of how often to replace them depends on various factors like your riding style and the conditions you're riding in. However, it is generally suggested to check the conditions of your shock absorbers every 20,000-40,000 km. Off-road motorcycles experience more stress and wear, so it's suggested to replace or service the shock absorbers more frequently or after a particularly demanding riding season.
