A suspension system for a leanable vehicle having a pair of laterally spaced wheels (1, 2) with hydraulic dampers (17, 18) associated with the wheels and control means selectively operable to operate a changeover valve (25) to cause the dampers (17, 18) to operate either independently or simultaneously to alter the operating characteristics of the suspension. In one position of a changeover valve (25), chambers above and below pistons (17b and 18b) are interconnected for each damper to allow normal tilting of the vehicle while still permitting suspension movements. In a second position of the changeover valve (25), the chamber above piston (17b) is interconnected with the chamber below piston (18b) and the chamber below piston (17b) is interconnected with the chamber above piston (18b), thereby preventing further tilting of the vehicle, whilst maintaining full suspension movement. |
