Abstract
A telescopically compressible wheel suspension, particularly for a front wheel of a motorcycle, having at least one standpipe and at least one slide pipe which are telescopically slidably guided inside one another in the axial direction via at least one slide bearing. The slide pipe and the standpipe are filled with oil and therefore form a lubricant container. In order to minimize the required amount of lubricant up to a defined level, a molded body is inserted into the slide and/or standpipe which, by means of at least one portion of its volume, displaces the lubricant, such as oil, to a level where lubrication is needed.
