after my second moto today I noticed that my rezzie had leaks some fluid onto my frame...Is this normal for new shocks?? this is only my second race on them

Ummmm......NO



I don't think leaks period are good..well not bad either.


Try to tighten the fitings up a lil...Just don't open it up...if that don't work...then take it to a local shop and have em maybe take it off and use some teflon tape aroudn the threads,then re-fill it.

Your shocks should NOT be leaking ANYTHING!!! If you just bought them, send them back!:o my .02 cents

THE OIL WAS FROM THE TOP...AND NOT MUCH JUST ENOUGH TO WET THE FRAME A BIT. BUT IT WAS BY THE ADJUSTERS...I GOT THEM FROM ATVSUSPENSIONTECH. SO I WILL CALL JOE AND SEE WHAT HE SAYS

No oil should be leaking from your shocks - that's a leak. Definately talk to the place you bought them from.....

Absolutly not.
That's a bad shaft seal.
