The 2013 Speed Triple SE features a restrained Matte Graphite color scheme offset by a frame and swingarm painted in tasteful matte blue. |
The linkage goes up through the rear swingarm and makes the bend to enter the top tube by means of a universal joint. |
The bike's aluminum twin-spar frame and swingarm are lightweight, compact and rigid to keep the weight down and the power up. |
I can say that I have yet to bend a dual swingarm, although I've bent up 3 or 4 layshafts over the last year. |
Mounting the rear shock in a different position can lead to severe damages at the frame, the swingarm and the rear shock. |
If the shock touches the frame while doing so do not use this shock in order to avoid damage to frame, swingarm or shock. |
