Is there anyway to tell how worn your rear shocks are? I thought that one was leaking some oil but it doesn't look like it is doing it now. Being my first bike I don't have a reference point for working normally or its worn out. Any advice.
Thanks |

Stand behind the bike, press down on it sharply, then release pressure, if the seat comes up slowly, it's OK, if it comes up very quickly, no damping.
That's just a basic test to see if your shock is dangerous, not to see if Rossi would use it ;) |

What colour is the oil typically used in a shock. Is is brown, tan, grey, black, clear?? When I thought mine was leaking the fluid I saw on the lower mount point appeared to be quite clear. Would this be oil from the shock?
Thanks |
