Challenger rear suspension

Recommended Posts

Been hearing this odd clunck for a wyll now ( last year)...only when the suspension is extended all the way up...on nasty bumps...like going over rail crossings...and when both wheels come off the ground and everything comes crashing down...I've had a look at it,and the rear sub frame suspension pin is exsesively loose in the sub frame...this pin is made to be removed to service the rear tire...no need to mess with the exaust when doing a tire change...

Pedro was asking why being such a master mechanic why I wasn't fixing it myself....lol. 

One simple reason @Pedro  I bought and extended warranty...lol...so I wouldn't to deal with this shit...id rather be riding than wrenching honestly...

So after looking at it they came up with a list of parts...totalling 2 thousand dallors in parts only...I know how warranty works, they put everything in and some of the parts like the needle bearings are perfectly fine..

Just to be clear Nothing listed in these parts makes the bike un-safe to ride...and it still rides better than any new  Harley on the road today even with that slop in the rear...

So what do I think about 60 thousand km...it's a good smooth riding suspension...mind you this bike isn't babied and have taking it place no touring bike should ever see...still consider this to be be a new suspension being that's it's only a 6 years old design...it's not like that had decades to work out the bugs like other brands...

Here's the list of parts they came up with...
