What Are The Benefits Of Adding Air Suspension To My Ninja ZX-14?

Being a sports bike, the Ninja ZX-14 had a sporty suspension that was tuned for performance and sat really well. As motorcycle enthusiasts, we are always looking to modify bikes to our liking, and air suspension allows you to do just that. Let’s take a closer look at some of the best benefits of adding air suspension to your Ninja sport bike.

More Comfortable To Stop At Stoplights

With the design of the Ninja ZX-14, many people can rest both feet firmly on the ground at stop lights. For those with shorter legs, this could be a little uncomfortable or not doable at all. With air suspension, you can air down at stop lights to get a more comfortable stop, allowing you to rest more between rides.

Adjust Your Suspension When You Want

With air suspension, you can easily adjust your suspension to the type of riding you are doing in minutes. With aftermarket shocks, this usually requires the use or special tools to accomplish. Using air suspension, you can firm up your suspension to drive more spiritedly or loosen it up for a more comfortable feel on longer drives.
