Abstract
A rear suspension system mounted on a motorcycle having a body frame, a rear wheel and a rear wheel supporting member which is pivotable together with a vertical movement of the rear wheel. The system comprises a pivotal damper disposed on the body frame and having an operating shaft which is integrally pivotable with a link member interlocked with the rear wheel supporting member, and a coil spring tensioned between the body frame and the link member in a position different from the position of the pivotal damper. With such arrangement, there is attained increased design freedom with respect to changing the capacity of the damper, reduction in size and weight of the coil spring, and increase in size and capacity of devices disposed in the vicinity of the coil spring.
