Abstract

A suspension-correcting device for a motorcycle having at least one wheel-axle supporting arm pivoted on its chassis, the arm also supporting at least one disk-brake caliper, through which passes a brake disk fixed to a wheel mounted rotatably on the axle, and suspension parts and shock-absorbers connecting the arm to the chassis, wherein the brake caliper mounted on the supporting arm is capable of rotating relative to the supporting arm within limits allowed by a mechanical connection which connects the caliper to an upper reaction portion of the motorcycle chassis, the assembly being used for limiting the foward dive of the motorcycle during braking.
