What is 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.
The risk
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.
