My TL1000S just can't catch a break! This time it's failed the MOT due to issues with the rear suspension spring joints. In this video. “According to this very kind MOT tester, my rear shock is about as useful as a pogo stick in a thunderstorm. Worn bushes. Seized linkage. Damping? Non-existent.”
I dive in to inspect the damage and try to uncover what's gone wrong this time. Is it wear and tear, or something more serious?
The Suzuki TL1000S is a legendary V-twin with a bit of a wild reputation—and mine seems determined to live up to it. Follow along as I strip down the rear end and get a closer look at what might be causing the problem.
If you've got a TL or any bike that's always one MOT away from the scrapyard—drop a comment. Misery loves company. Like, subscribe, and I’ll see you in the next breakdown—I mean video!
🔧 Expect oily hands, close-ups of dodgy joints, and some real-world issues.
