NOTE Besides the serial spring (21) with flexibility index K=4, 8 N/mm (TETC) and K=5 (SMR) and relevant preload (25) spacer harder or softer springs, together with spacers are abailable upon request. NOTE Always replace both the spring and the spacers to keep the preload value unchanged. HANDLEBAR POSITION AND HEIGHT CHANGE The handlebar position (a) and height (b) can be changed for better suiting Your driving requirements.
