What’s wrong with it?
The rear shock absorber may have been assembled with an incorrect o-ring, allowing fluid to leak from the shock absorber. Fluid loss from the shock absorber can compromise the shock’s damping characteristics, which can render the motorcycle unstable, creating a potential for injury or death.
