Ive got it.......... Pleiades your a genius. You got me tbinking and looking through old receipts. Ive had the links long before I bought my ohlins shock. Which i in turn bought because the Sachs unit died a miserable leaky death. That sucker was like a pogo stick for a good 3 weeks whilst offtheroad sorted my new shock out. Topping out many many times.
Ill bet thats when the damage was done.
I change the links so regularly, but very rarely clean them or inspect them. Was only this time as i was under there removing my bash guard for straightening that I cleaned everything so it wouldnt be such a mucky job.

10 points for Pleiades.
