2. Inspect the unit closely for fluid leaks from all parts of the unit and for cracks and damage to the springs. If there is any damage, or any leaks are evident, both rear suspension units must be renewed as a matched pair.
3. Check the mounting rubbers for cracks and signs of elongation. Replace as necessary.
Warning! Always renew both rear suspension units as a pair, even if only one appears to be faulty. If only one suspension unit is replaced, the handling of the motorcycle could be adversely affected. This could result in an unsafe riding condition leading to a loss of motorcycle control and an accident.
