- c-zeta reverse engineers compression numbers based on spring rate and lev ratio. [see zeta_backwards_shc.xlsx]
- Each c-zeta curve is for a specific bike and lev ratio as well as the internal shock components.
- The c-zeta targets are based on zeta numbers at 1ips, 5ips, 50ips and are appended with _a, _b, _c, etc. For example:
- The appended letters represent the pressure shock's shaft diameter, flsprs, ressy piston or bladder.
- Current letter designations.
- _b 16sxf250-psh 15 flsprs 18 shaft ressy pist 69c 73d
- _f mx18-psh 15 flsprs 18 shaft ressy pist 69c 73d
- phm bladder kit 71c 75d
- _g mx18-psh 16 flsprs 18 shaft ressy pist 69c 73d
- phm bladder kit 71c 75d
- _g 10yzf450-psh 16 flsprs 18 shaft bladder 73c 77d
- _g is used for both WP and KBY shock with 18 shaft
- As shown above there are different calculated and dynamic gas forces for each pressure shock.
- Pressures are temperature sensitive and it is best to test at the same temp for each test.
- Variations in gas force do not affect the target numbers.
- Therefore, use the same target numbers regardless of shaft diameter, ressy or bladder. Just reate a new c-zeta target and adjust the dynamic gas force to match appended letter.
- Pressure differences from shock to shock.
- For example, the 2012 and 2016 psh have different dyno gas force.
- 2012 73c 77 dynamic
- 2016 69c 73 dynamic
- The mx18-psh has different gas force for stk ressy piston and phm bladder kit.
- stk piston 69c 73 dynamic
- phm bladder 71c 74 dynamic
- The 2015 and 2016 flsprs produce different ca force and each requires it's own target.
