Dont play play with rear sus. They are the ones that keep ur rear wheel pinned down tot he rd. Pls check it ASAP.

U are better off then a cheap new sus than a leaking showa....

I have a friend riding mito and rear sus gone, when he brakes and the rd was less than perfect the rear bounce and cost rear to lock and fish tailed. Very dangerous....

When u corner and the rear bounce wat will happen to u...thaink about it....

I read only bikelab can service the shock, reviews are it will last for only 2 years and it will start to leak again. I have never been there or service my shock before so price wise its better you negotiate with them.

 

As the oil starts to leak your rear shock will start to get soft and it will become imbalance (super 4 have 2 shock), ride will become uncomfortable on uneven road. Cornering will not be stable as well. Also there is the danger of the leaking oil fling to your rear tire casing you to skid.

My recommandation is buy a bitubo shock that should cost u about $800 and sell away the other showa. May get u back $200 or so.

There u spend $600 on shock and is in good condition rather than spend over $200 then chances are it might leak again.

With those shocks u can inceases value on ur bike when u wanna sell away. Or u can sell ur bike that time just buy some LAB shock and take out ue bitubo and sell again. I guess is the best choice.

Thanks all for your help. Sigh seem like rear suspension leaking is a serious problem. Already spend 600+ coz of the JB incident. Now still need service. No money le. And don't wish to go back to the shop coz the boss there bad attituide. haiz. bad luck..

 

By e way, now when i ride , i still feel normal. And the oil only come out when i exert force to push the suspension downwards. Normally ride. .i think not much oil will leak lol..

I guess he did go to bikelab.

U can try other sus like bitubo that cost about $800 or so. Then sell away the other showa which is in good condition. That is if u wanna ride ur bike for long if not then just go LAB to get the one ur burget fit u.

ohlins cost an arm and a leg.

try bitubo.
