Hello riders

Today i made a short trip in our mountains and at a short rest
i´ve seen that the screw from the holder of the rear suspension reservoir
came off.

The reservoir was hanging beetween the spring coils :eek:.

This screw is mounted upside down, so please control it on your motorcycles.

I´m not sure if the reservoir has any damages, because i had a little hurry after the tour.
I´ve seen that the spring has some scratches.


In the same time I´ve seen, that the cable from the exhaust flapper valve,
has no mounting point on the exhaust any more ? :confused:

Now it´s rattling on the exhaust pipe.

Is there a mounting point,
beneath the mounting point at the brake reservoir ?

Will see if i can make some fotos tommorow.

Thanks

Happened to me, too. I lost the little nut that the screw goes into, had to find a replacement. Loctited it. No leaks yet...
It's the same plastic bracket that holds the rear power outlet.

PS you can turn the spring to hide the scratches...

So now i took pics.

In the middle of img 1237 you see the screw that came off the reservoir.
In 1247 you can see the scratches the reservoir made at the spring.

1239 is the cable to the flapper valve, which rattles at the exhaust pipe holder.
1241 would be the upper cable @ the brake reservoir, where the only holder for this cable is.
Here I´m not sure if the cable path is right, or if there should be another holder ?
Because this rattling sound is irritating.

Does anybody know if there´s a mounting point,
for the cable to the flapper valve, below the one @ the brake reservoir (last pic)?

And thanks zippy i knew that, also used an anticorrosive paint.

Thanks
