Fixing My Suzuki TL1000S Suspension with a Used eBay Shock | Clean, Check & Refit

The TL1000S lives again! In this video. “According to this very kind MOT tester, my rear shock is about as useful as a pogo stick in a thunderstorm. Worn bushes. Seized linkage. Damping? Non-existent.” So I replace the rear suspension unit on my Suzuki TL1000S using a second-hand spring and banana joint I picked up from eBay. Watch as I clean it up, check for wear, regrease the joints, and get it fitted back onto the bike. If you're keeping an old V-twin beast like this on the road, this kind of maintenance is a must. If you've got a TL or any bike that's always one MOT failure away from the scrapyard—drop a comment. Misery loves company. Like, subscribe, and I’ll see you in the next breakdown—I mean video! PS Watch me panic as I nearly drop the bike! 🔧 Bike: Suzuki TL1000S 🔧 Tools used: 14mm Spanner, Socket set and Torque wrench and a bit of grease under the fingernails — just how we like it. 📍 Issue: Suspension Spring & Joints (MOT fail) 🎥 Content: Check used part from Ebay, Clean, Regrease and Refit 🏍️ Subscribe for more real-world motorcycle issues with the TL1000s, rides, and stories from the road. #SuzukiTL1000S #MotorcycleRepair #BikeMaintenance #eBayFinds #motorcyclediy Cameras: #djiosmo4 #gopro11 Editing Software: #filmora14 Drone: #mavicmini    / @lipglosshelmetsandhim     / lipglosshelmetsandhim     / lipglosshelmetsandhim   https://www.buymeacoffee.com/LipglossHHH
