Shockbreaker is one of the key components in a vehicle that functions as a damper, providing comfort while driving. This component requires routine maintenance, especially if the driver has a busy mobility every day.

In an effort to keep the shockbreaker durable and functioning properly, there are several ways of maintaining it, one of which is cleaning it regularly. The dirt attached to the shockbreaker can damage the seal and cause oil leakage. This can result in a decrease in the quality of the spring in the shockbreaker naturally.

In addition to cleaning the shockbreaker, it is necessary to pay attention to the load carried. Overload can result in the suspension not functioning properly. It is recommended to replace the oil on this component every 2-3 years to stay comfortable when used.

According to Andi Saeful, a technician from Planet Ban, using a damaged shockbreaker can damage other components on the bike, including tires.

"If the shockbreaker is damaged and still used, the condition of the tires will not be evenly distributed, which in the end can cause wear on several parts of the tires," he told VOI, Monday, October 2.

Furthermore, he advised every motorcycle user to check the condition of the shockbreaker periodically, ensuring that his position remains central and all other components function properly.

"Make sure to check whether the shockbreaker is still in the middle (center) and also make sure that the rubber monting is still in good condition," he concluded.
