2ND Gen Rear Shock

[Tom]

When you loose a rear shock will it still hold air pressure?( Mine is) Reason asking I know that when you change oil to NOT fill it over the half way mark on window and I am a slight bit lower than that but I have oil at base of rear shock? Thanks,Tom

It usually drips right off the bottom of the shock mount. Should also show a spot on the floor, not a real big one.

 

Most of the time if you have too much in the crank case it oils up the intake to the carbs.

 

And yes the rear shock still will hold air but you get a real bouncy ride.

When mine went bad it still held air.
