SUSPENSION TECH

Shock absorber * Suspension damper     Position Sensitive * Stable Platform * Propedal      Boost Valves * Spike Valves * Inertia Valves     Shimmed Pistons * Floating Piston     Twin Tube * Mono Tube * Remote   ....and the list goes on, this section is dedicated to suspension, a collection of information from manufacturers service manuals, suspension gurus and including collective information from HSC suspension tuning records. The ultimatum here is to encourage correct suspension set up, particularly on dual suspension bikes. When the wheel base averages 430mm, both front and rear suspension units require correct set up if they are to perform in harmony.   HSC invites you to have your say, if you have relevant information or tech tips that could be useful to others, then e-mail that info to me and I'll insert your input here.   NOTE: If you find incorrect information in this section please let me know....constructive criticism is all good :-)
