I just had my rear suspension linkage bearings replaced in August of this year, the rear end was seized and had no movement. I thought that was the end of it.
I went to take the bike into the shop for a new top end and when I sat on it to start it, the rear shock just started leaking foamy oil onto the ground. I guess I was too aggressive with my crappy pressure washer. This won't happen again. The rear suspension was also stiff and didn't rebound before it even leaked.
Is the rear shock re-buildable? Can the seal(s) be replaced? I really don't want to invest in a new shock if avoidable.
Thanks for any information.
