Re: Aprilia SR 150 Owners Reviews and Experiences
Nice point, I will keep check on tire pressure.
But still I find shock absorber placement weired, For me it should be centre aligned but in sr150 it is at left side

Thank you for your suggestions, it will surely help me ride comfortably.

Most scooters have only shock absorber, taking into account their chassis design. Now, going over a speedbreaker at speed and landing hard would result in some form of loss of stability which depends on the road, the height of the hump etc. Secondly, check your tire air pressure, improper tire pressure can cause all sort of diabolic handling characteristics.

Speedbreaker control is very essential for all riders. Common misconceptions and mistakes done are:
1. Breaking over a speed breaker.
2. Speeding and reflex halting at the base of a Speedbreaker.
3. Evading a Speedbreaker by speeding.
All the above lead to an unstable pickup after the Speedbreaker has been passed by. Scooters specially work on CVT. The clutch pulley has to work its way back up to the required gearing and hence a slight sluggish gain.
Balance will be off as the shocks have been compressed, and by having the engine and clutch box at the rear, weight is distributed way back and the balance shifted to the laws of gravity.
So the best way to ride over a bump is to slow down 5 to 6 meters before a Speedbreaker, break lightly till the bike reaches a nimble 5 to 10 kms at the Speedbreaker, release the brakes and let the scoot glide over the bump.
Not only will this save ur shocks, but your back too. And the ride will be a pleasant one.
