What are the defects?
The fixed fork tube can suffer preliminary damage when unusual incidents with momentary high stress occur.
What are the hazards?
Prolonged usage with high stress may cause the pressed in top seal plug in the fixed fork tube to loosen, leading to oil leaks and increasingly imprecise drivability.
If this is not noticed or ignored and further high stress incidents occur, the plug may become completely loose, posing a hazard to the rider and other road users.
