PRO.LINK
SUSPENSION
SYSTEM
The
single
shock
absorber
and linkage
of
the
Pro-Link
rear
suspension
system
are
attached
to
the
swing
arm
just
aft
of the
swing
arm
pivot
point
and
to
the lower
rear
portion
of
the frame.
All
of
these
items
are located
forward
of
the
rear
wheel.
The
shock link
and
shock
anns
working
together
with
the matched
spring
rate
and damping
rates
of
the
shock
absorber
combine
to
achieve
a
"progressive
rising
rate"
rear
suspension.
This
system
provides
the rider
with
the
best
of
two
worlds-greater
rider
comfort
and
better
transfer
of
power
to the
ground.
As
the
rear
suspension
is
moved
upward
by
bumps,
the shock
absorber
is
compressed
by
the
movement
of the
shock
arm.
The
shock
arm
and
shock
links
are
attached
to the
swing
arm
and to
the lower
portion
of
the
frame.
As
rear
suspension
travel increases,
the
portion
of the
shock
link
where
the
shock
absorber
is
attached
rises
above
the
swing
arm,
thus increasing
shock
absorber
travel
(compression).
This
provides
a
progressive
rise
rate
in which
the
shock
eventally
moves
at a faster
rate
than
the wheel.
At
about
halfway
through
the wheel
travel
the shock
begins
to
move
at a
faster
rate
than it
did in
the
beginning.
Shock Absorber
Linkage
Removal
The
pivot
areas
of

parts
of
tlie
