Type 640/641 Ø 46 mm - Individual

for Suzuki TL 1000 S and for Suzuki TL 1000 R
The motorcycle manufacturer Suzuki invented a clever rear-wheel suspension system for their two-cylinder Sports-models TL 1000 S and R. The new invention was that the swing arm affects a spring-element while a separated rotary wing damper provides additional damping to the system. Unfortunately the disadvantage of this system is that the rotary wing damper is located behind the engine thus constantly heating the damping oil, decreasing damping- as well as handling characteristics. Wilbers started troubleshooting and after some development time, the solution became obvious: As the concepts weak point is the rotary wing damper, we refitted the Suzuki with a new Wilbers Racing Suspension damping element with auxiliary spring. Because the spring of the “S”-class is functional it had not to be changed. The opposite is true with the
“R”-version, whose modified system is a progress to the older “S”-class system nonetheless without yet reaching sporty demands. Here we had to develop a special edition shock absorber individually for the “R”-model. However the original spring and damping elements had to be completely exchanged. The results for both classes: Constant damping and more adjustments. Another side effect is that annoying headshaking, typical with the TL 1000, is clearly reduced.
