| Information about the effects of Unsprung weight: The law about the influence of unsprung weight over bike dynamic performance, which is defined by the absurd equation 1 equals 8, is known and globally accepted. The concept is that by diminishing the unsprung mass of a bike suspension by 1 weight unit, such diminution will have an influence 8 times larger over the bike dynamic performance. In other words, 1 Kg reduction to a suspension unsprung weight is dynamically equivalent to lightening the bike kerb weight by 8 Kg. If you consider that the RAM magnesium sssarm for the MONSTER weighs only 3,500 grams, the unsprung weight decrease amounts to 1500 grams or 30%. 8 times 1500 grams corresponds to a lightening of 12 kilograms. Those of you who tried lightening the kerb weight of any bike have realized the importance of an improvement of 12 Kg that is immediately available by installing a lighter swingarm, an improvement added to others, like better traction and stability due to the swingarm lengthening. Installation NOTES: While this install is very easy to perform, some 848, and 1098R models use a slightly wider bushing in the lower shock mounting eyelet, which must be ground down just slightly to allow for perfect fitment. Also, with all installs, chain must be lengthened by 1 link due to extra length of swingarm. Please contact us with any questions! |
