TL1000s Rear suspension problems

[Patch]

Loose the stock damper - they suck.

Get a Bitubo or Ohlins - they work better and not as hard on the tyre life because they work so well

Eat less pies, that can help a bit too


Do it once , do it right

Best thing you can do Andre is get a Bitubo. You won't have to worry about the broken lugs where your present damper mounts, and a pleasant side effect will be better rear suspension performance and increased tyre life. It would be the easiest solution to the problem

Well, got the shock (stick on a spring) off.. to my untrained eye's it looks fine thankfully. The bike is tied to the shed roof (um.. yeah) No pic's of the mess in the shed. Might be abit of a mission if we have to move the bike (though I guess just chuck the shock back in, put the rear tyre on and roll her - on second thoughts, shouldn't be a mission. heh)
