Can the rear shock absorber of Kawasaki Z650 be adjusted?

[DiAlexis]

It can be adjusted. There is a rotatable setting at the top of the shock absorber spring. Concept: Shock absorbers (Absorbers) can be mainly divided into two types based on the damping material: hydraulic and pneumatic, and there is also a type with variable damping. Function: The shock absorber is mainly used to suppress the oscillation when the spring rebounds after absorbing shocks and the impacts from the road surface. When passing over uneven road surfaces, although the shock-absorbing spring can filter out the vibrations from the road, the spring itself will still have reciprocating motion, and the shock absorber is used to suppress this spring bouncing. If the shock absorber is too soft, the body will bounce up and down; if the shock absorber is too hard, it will create too much resistance, hindering the normal operation of the spring. In the process of modifying the suspension system, a hard shock absorber should be paired with a hard spring, and the hardness of the spring is closely related to the weight of the vehicle. Therefore, heavier vehicles generally use harder shock absorbers. The device connected to the vibration-damping crankshaft is used to counteract the torsional vibration of the crankshaft.
