I purchased Grom at a new car, but it was closed to the bad operation of Rear shock. In Shop, "It will be a little better when break-in is over. Although it was said that, OEM's poor Shock absorber is unlikely to be expected.
I wanted to improve the comfort and lowered the car height slightly, so I switched to Mukawa's car harmony.
The goods that arrived from Webike seem to be fine, but they also had a lot of weight. Reliably heavy compared to OEM.
Installation is somewhat annoying to remove the Side cover, but since there are many reference examples with images on the Net, you can refer to it. Shock's Mounting Bolt "Demon Torque" Although it is written well, this place is the place where Torque is originally put on. It is a very tightened Torque. However, a tool that can be torqued is necessary. Because Bolt on top is deep, for Vehicle's ten o'clock Wrench (For Tire) If you use 17mm of the, you do not have much trouble. Bolt below is not Double-end Wrench of Offset, it's easy to relax if Torque's prone Straight wrench.
Since there was no oil at all in the mounting part, install it with Grease up.
After installing, you can see the difference by straddling. The Shock which almost did not sink at 1 G properly sinks according to your weight and as you run, the ride feeling is getting better like a different Motorcycle.
I wanted to drop the car height a little, so I set the Shock length to the shortest, and the Front set accordingly, but only 5 mm, so I only got a little lower. I thought that it would be better if you set the adjustment range of the height of the car around + - 10 mm from OEM.
It is a point that the letter of the handling Instruction Manual is too small and it is hard to read, the way to adjust the height of the car is not written. I tried it by trial and error, but it is anxious place.
However, since I think that this is the only Shock of 20,000 yen or less that can surely improve ride comfort, it is recommended for those who want to improve ride comfort.
