Details

What's wrong: Certain suspension components can loosen when the motorcycle is ridden hard in rough off-road conditions. The right-hand bearing pin in the rear swinging arm and also the lower flange nut on the front strut can both loosen.

Why it matters: This can result in reduction of the motorcycle's dynamic stability resulting in loss of control of the motorcycle.

The fix: Dealers will remove the bearing pin, apply a stronger adhesive and reassemble with an increased torque specification. The flange nut on the front strut will be replaced with a self-tightening nut.
