At about 46000km the rear shock leaked all its oil out. I had it rebuilt and was very happy with it.
Now at a bit over 60000km it has started to leak again. I felt it bottom out going through Baviaans 10 days ago, and yesterday I noticed a smiley on the rear rim. Bastardo.
I am, at 65kg, a lightweight rider, the spring and shock absorber have always been good enough for my kind of riding.
I am reluctant to have a new seal fitted. Last time the shaft was chromed and ground, a new bush and seal were fitted etc. and in my opinion, it should have lasted almost as long as it did from new.
So what do you all recomend I do now? A new shock from Kawasaki? An aftermarket shock? How much will it cost?
Thanks.
