Author Message   S1owner Posted on Monday, June 04, 2012 - 08:04 am:        So i goto my garage this morning and see a little bit of oil under the bike well it turns out its coming from the shock res and as far as i can tell its coning right thru the side i will look better tonight! Any ideas i think its a works shock   Thylacine Posted on Monday, June 04, 2012 - 08:07 am:        I would try to tighten instead. I find this more useful when trying to stop a leak.   Oldog Posted on Monday, June 04, 2012 - 10:22 am:        check the oil line on the pump to filter mount the hose clamp can wear the line if it slips.   S1owner Posted on Monday, June 04, 2012 - 12:50 pm:        This is coming out of the shock res mounted to the frame on the shifter side above the engine!   Dannybuell Posted on Monday, June 04, 2012 - 03:31 pm:        Get a Penske, The OEM recall shocks weakness is blowing seals. added 'recall'. (Message edited by dannybuell on June 04, 2012)   Buellistic Posted on Monday, June 04, 2012 - 03:46 pm:        Guess "i" should start to worry as my OEM shock on my 1997 S3T(15 years)has lasted 111,354.8 miles as of the last ride ???   Someday Posted on Monday, June 04, 2012 - 03:50 pm:        Buellistic, Is that the original exposed spring shock or the replacement with the spring in the canister? Just curious.   Buellistic Posted on Monday, June 04, 2012 - 04:30 pm:        Someday: It is the OEM exposed spring shock ... "i" knew how to use a magnet, "BUT" "i" got the recall shock just in case my OEM shock ever wears out ... By the way the spring looks good painted to match the color of your bike ...   Oldog Posted on Monday, June 04, 2012 - 04:39 pm:        This is coming out of the shock res mounted to the frame on the shifter side above the engine! Oh...}   Dannybuell Posted on Monday, June 04, 2012 - 04:51 pm:        If the reservoir is on the shifter side on the frame it is NOT a recall or OEM shock. post a picture please. If it is the reservoir it still sounds like you blew a seal or the bladder. If there are no suspension tuners in your area or you want the best, look up gpsuspension.com   Jim2 Posted on Monday, June 04, 2012 - 05:49 pm:        If the reservoir is rubbing or vibrating against anything it can wear a hole through it. I had mine zip-tied against front shock bracket after my OEM mount broke the stud off and it started to wear thought the canister. I'm glad I found it before it made it's way all the way through. I replaced the zip-tie with the oem bracket that works as a standoff so there is no rubbing. Inspect the reservoir case for wear or cracks. Maybe racetech can mount a new canister on there for you if it's just the cannister. I've seen some pictures of OEM shocks with aftermarket canister. Good luck.   S1owner Posted on Monday, June 04, 2012 - 09:09 pm:        Ok so i am a complete noob!
