## What is wrong

On certain motorcycles, the lower part \(eyelet\) of the spring/damper unit which attaches to the rear drive unit, could crack.  In extreme circumstances, the spring/damper could detach from the rear drive allowing the rear of the motorcycle to drop onto the rear tire, causing a drag on the tire and possible unstable vehicle handling.  Correction: Spring/damper lower eyelet will be replace with a streghtened eyelet.
