Rear Suspension Inspection
1. Place the bike on a maintenance stand. Either
strap securely in place or have a helper hold the
bike while you push hard against the side of the
rear wheel and feel for any free play which
indicates worn swing arm bushings (1). Do not
ride with worn swing arm bushings.
2. Check that the fasteners for the shock absorber
attachment points (2) are secure.
3. Check that the shock absorber bushings (3) are
not worn, check for oil leaks in the shock
absorber. If any rear suspension components
appear worn or damaged, see your dealer for
further inspection.
