[QUOTE="YZThumper, post: 443724, member: 24412"] The bike in question is a 1991 KTM 500MX. I bought this bike earlier in the summer and it was in practically mint condition. The shock however began to leak pretty bad soon after the first few rides. I had a local KTM shop rebuild it with new seals etc around early August. I only had 2 rides on the shock before I decided to put a new top end in the bike, so I haven't ridden the bike at all since the last 2 rides on the newly rebuilt shock. While breaking in the new top end with an easy ride, I noticed the shock is leaking again. It's not leaking nearly as bad as the first incident, but leaking none the less. I called the shop and explained my situation. The service department says the shock shaft may be worn. I asked if I would be charged labor if I brought the shock back in since this should have been noticed during the original rebuild, but they wouldn't commit to anything. What should I expect from the shop as far as follow up on the original service? What am I looking at price wise if the shock shaft is worn ? If the problem is not the shock shaft, what else could cause this to keep leaking? [/QUOTE]
