Hi,
Has anyone had similar issues with their rear shock turning into a Scotoiler?
'07 1200GSA, 11K Miles, 19st Fat Bloke = Oil escaping from damper piston on rear shock
.
See piccie.......
BMW assistance to the rescue and looking at extended waranty replacement but after searching the forum i have not seen any other examples of losing oil from the shock apart from the damper adjusters.
Not having an aftermarket rear wheel/shock crud guard should not be an issue as it doesn't spend too much time offroading (occasional greenies
).
Any thoughts on why this should happen?? - yes i know bike is dirty but i do ride it afterall!
I will be fitting an aftermarket Mudsling as a Barn Door approach but i am surprised this sort of failure occured.
TTFN
