In order to mitigate and attenuate the impact and vibration of motorcycles due to uneven road, ensure the ride smoothness and comfort, and improve the service life and handling stability of motorcycles, shock absorbers are installed on the motorcycle stand. So how should motorcycle shock absorbers be maintained?
With the help of motorcycle lift, use the front shock absorber removal wrench to remove the rubber cover at the upper end of the front shock absorber, pull out the stop ring, take out the cover, gasket, inner sleeve and shock absorber spring, then pour out the hydraulic oil in the shock absorber. Clamp the front shock absorber on the vise (be careful not to clamp too tightly), hold the piston rod with a wrench, loosen the motorcycle bolt at the root of the outer fork pipe with an inner hexagonal wrench, and then take out the inner fork pipe and other parts. Installation is carried out in the reverse order of disassembly and decomposition. The front shock absorber cleaner can remove grease scale and make the shock absorber more smooth.
Maintaining requires disassembly and assembly of the shock absorber. It is important to master the skills.
(1)When installing the oil seal, the main lip should be facing the outer fork tube, and the dust lip should be facing outward (that is, the numbered side of the oil seal faces outward). A small amount of grease should be applied to the lip, and then the oil seal should be gently pushed into the outer fork pipe with wood blocks and hammers or special tools.
(2)All parts should be cleaned before they can be assembled.
(3)The main lip of the oil seal shall not be scratched.
(4)Do not forget the sealant or gasket when installing the oil drain plug.
(1)Attention should be paid to the regular cleaning and dust removal of shock absorbers to minimize the leakage of oil. In particular, the shock absorbers of the RX125 type are basically bare and work directly in contact with dust. Therefore, it is necessary to use soft cloth strip to effectively remove dust in the working travel section of the shock absorber before each driving. Practice has proved that dust is an important factor that causes the shock absorber to leak oil quickly.
(2)When the motorcycle is not in use, we must pay attention to the oil-coated protection of the working stroke of the shock absorber, and strictly prevent the corrosion and rust of the shock absorber.
(3)Check the tightening of the shock absorber before each use to ensure safe driving. Also observe the oil leakage of the shock absorber to determine whether it needs to be disassembled or repaired to ensure that the shock absorber is always in normal working condition.
(4)Use shock absorbers produced by formal manufacturers to ensure driving safety and economical use. Shock absorbers must be replaced in pairs, and the products of the same manufacturer must be used left and right.
(5)Please drive smoothly to reduce the abnormal impact on the shock absorber. Minimize rapid acceleration, sudden braking, and sharp turns and try not to overload.
(6)Check the parts of shock absorber regularly, such as dust shield, buffer block, vibration isolation block, etc. If damage or aging is found, it should be replaced in time. And try to use the parts manufactured by regular manufacturers. Check the tire's air pressure regularly and keep it within the prescribed range.
As we all know, shock absorber is one of the most important parts of motorcycle. The running quality of shock absorber is directly related to the motorcycle's operation and bend stability, and the state of shock absorber is directly related to the riding experience of each motorcycle, so it is necessary to maintain the shock absorber of motorcycle.
