FRONT SUSPENSION SYSTEM


  1. CONSTRUCTION


    1. Front Suspension Support Sub-Assembly and Front Coil Spring


      1. The front suspension support sub-assembly has been adopted the construction that the support is connected in one point. As a result, a compact and lightweight construction is offered.

      2. A pigtail type of front coil spring is used where the top and bottom diameters are different, creating a compact and lightweight construction. Lateral force reduction springs are used to control the reaction force line of the front coil spring, and reduce the bending force applied to the front shock absorber assembly. This reduces suspension friction, delivering a very comfortable ride.

    2. Front Shock Absorber Assembly


      1. In the front shock absorber assembly, a low-pressure N2gas sealed type construction is used to suppress cavitations and a multi-leaf type liner control valve is also used to attain the linear damping force characteristics, offering both driving stability and riding comfort.

        Note

        To prevent hazardous conditions, make sure to empty the gas from the shock absorber before discarding an N2gas sealed shock absorber. For details, refer to the Repair Manual.

      2. The multi-leaf type linear control valve has a structure consisting of several layered leaf valves with different diameter. Through use of the multi-leaf type linear control valve, changes in the damping force are made constant at low piston speeds, thus offering the excellent riding comfort and controllability.
