Hi vhog2, sorry to hear about your bad luck ... easiest way to find out is have your VIN# run by a dealer to see if the recall has been done (if your bike was produced between May 22, 2007 through March 26, 2009)

If it has been done, than it's some other problem.

Why didn't you check your fork when it was stuck and collapsed?

Too bad they didn't give you that "ok to ride" in writing! ... That really sucks big time!
