It also transmits the forces of the ground to the frame, and vice versa. This axis must remain perfectly aligned, well greased and free of any play for the suspension to function optimally. In the event of wear or deformation, the motorcycle loses precision, the suspension works poorly and the wear of the bearings accelerates. It is one of the motorcycle parts cross to be inspected regularly.
