    I was talking with Clive Wood the other day and he was telling me he is seeing many bikes with failed suspension linkages. Wether it is single sided or even street triples, tiger 800's or exploder. I don't see many talk about this so, are they not checked or is he just seeing the bad ones??
    So if you do your own services make sure to check them
    This is a typical street triple

    Hi mate
    I'm not happy until I have had both the front end and back end out of my bikes
    All checked/lubed/refitted
    Then I can trust it to work as it should
    Too many people think they know what they're doing but only make them worse
    A lot of emphasis is put on the engine and power
    Pointless if you're suspension/frame/brakes etc can't handle it
    Check everything and ride safe in the knowledge that it's gonna work
