What NHTSA recorded

Vehicle description: motorcycles. The rear shock absorber can break, dragging the underside of the vehicle on the ground.

Possible consequence

This could affect the handling, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will install a shock reinforcement package (srp) which protects the structual integrity of the suspension system. A new shock absorber is currently being developed. When the new shock absorber is available, if an owner choses, they can have it installed at no charge through the dealer network.
