Why oil comes out of the shocker
Before we know why the shock absorber is leaking oil, we need to understand how the shock absorber works. In fact, oil is filled in the cylinder of the front shock absorber. Thanks to this oil, you won’t feel a tug on the handle when the bike goes into the pit. This oil comes from the shock absorber. However, if oil leaks from the shock absorber, this is a sign of a serious fault. This means that the shock absorber oil seal is damaged. The shock begins to dry out due to oil leaks and the shock piston hits the shock body.
By doing this over a long period of time, not only will the shock absorber be damaged, it will also affect the balance of the bike. Also, it is not safe to ride such a bike because if there is a big pothole, the impact can be strong and the bike may fall.
how to correct
There are two ways to fix the problem after the oil has drained from the shock absorber. A common way is to go to a shop and have the bike’s shock absorber replaced. There are also shock absorber repair shops on the market. They take your shock absorber and give you the old, repaired shock absorber. While there’s no guarantee and they don’t last long, you can get them for a quarter of the price of a new shock absorber.
