| 2001 suzuki tl1000s motorcycle, suzuki teamed up with a company called kababa and designed a rear shock absorber system called a rotary valve dampner. as far as i know every one on these bikes has failed. my bike has 9000 miles on it and it has completely failed. it is unrideable. if this system was to fail on the road, in a turn or curve it could be fatal, loosing complete control of the motorcycle. suzuki has built these motorcycles for a few years and all have this flaw. the fix alone is to purchase a aftermarket system to replace this rotary valve dampner. parts alone are 500 to 1000 dollars. over engineered design that will fail in time. i hope there are other owners that have spoken out. thank you for your time.*jb | |||
