Sorry guys couldnt find the awnser so im asking all of you , my rear shock started leaking all over the side of my bike on my x1 it looks like its coming from the banjo bolt going through the shock to the remote resovir , can i just replace the banjo bolt washers? | ||
| Oldog |
you will have to recharge the shock so you might as well have it rebuilt.. | ||
| Manxman500tt |
crap where do i send it off to? | ||
| Thejosh |
Have the sanitation department come pick it up | ||

Most common and cost effective rebuild seems to be thru RaceTech. | ||

Make doubly sure that the engine oil pump fittings did not come loose. I was completely convinced that my shock had blown. I had oil coming from exactly where you describe. What had actually happened was the brass engine oil fitting, directly above the front of the shock had come loose. | ||

+1 Greg! Thats what happened to me. Look at the oil pump fittings for sure, much simpler and less costly. | ||

or you could be like mine, and have the far more pain the ass option... leaking through the case halves. | ||

I had the case halves leak thing. I cleaned, tightend, and coated with a bit of JB Weld as a temp fix. At least until I can do a total rebuild with an 88" kit.  I recently sent my shock to Race Tech. 1,500 miles on it now and it has worked great. Very happy with the transaction. | ||

Most likely it's blown. If there is more than 10k miles on it you can almost bet on it. Mine blows every 15k. | ||
| Manxman500tt |
mines got almost 40k on the original shock | ||

I just got my shock back from race tech. I didn't have them do any thing special and it was like right at $200 by the time it was shipped to my door. Mine decided to start leaking as soon as it was removed from the bike. How convenient! |
