Checking rubber ring on the WP rear shock absorber

A rubber ring mounted on the rear shock absorber serves as a vibration
damper. This ring gets pressed together with time and loses its shock ab-
sorbing quality.
Measure the distance between the two discs at various points around their
circumferences. The space should be at least 2.5 mm (0,1 in) wide. Have
the rubber ring replaced by an KTM dealer when compaction due to wear
has exceeded this lower limit.
