Air Shocks Leaking

Post by Mart656 »

I recently bought another Voyager 1200. This one is in great shape mechanically except for a couple of items. The individual that had it previously had the fluid changed in the shocks. The rear shocks are leaking but only notice it when I carry a passenger. I'm not the lightest person but add the passenger and poof it leaks. I also notice the fluid coming out of when i went to put air in the shocks to get it where I wanted. Will I have to replace the rear shocks or just take some fluid out? If taking fluid out how much. Thanks in advance!!! :thanks: :thewave:

If you have fluid in the lines ,your shocks are to full,which is probably why they leak.
