For one reason or anther my R1200GSA is stripped down to virtually every last nut, bolt, washer and not-so-shiny bit.
Stripping the gearbox shafts to fit new bearings I spotted that the input shaft shock absorber looks like it is about to explode. The photos show the cracks that I spotted in the internal components and the outer casing of the shock absorber.
The internals have shattered into at least 5 pieces. Each of the tabs has at least one crack in it. I did strip it further to confirm the damage, but reassembled it before I took the photographs.
Glad I spotted it before I put it all back together again.
So, anyone got a complete shaft or the shock absorber they want to sell on? If you have a shaft with worn splines I can strip off the part I need.
