make sure you dont view a bike ever with a broken leg. you miss small things like this:

yes. that is the rear shock snapped off at the base end of the shock, and the rear of the bike is literally being held up by the sheared bottom end of the shock resting on the right hand dog bone.

the dent in the swingarm is obviously the cause of this damage, but what the **** hits the swingarm hard enough to cause damage to the shock, let alone shear the ******* thing off?

money back here i come.


did i mention the bike was MOT'd by the garage supplying it AFTER this damage was caused? :eek:
 
scrape on swingarm from the exhaust hitting it

as for the shock theres been a few failed recently judging by the posts on here
 
few dog bones and the linkages have failed .....not the rear shock ....linkages that don't get cleaned n regreased will seize and snap .... hence I do mine every year
 
damm thats horrendous

those nuts don't look to sharp,
bet the bearings aren't in good nick
 
!!!!if thats just rear shock and linkage what about the servicing on the resrt of the bike OMG :eek:
