When I 1st bought the bike thought the shock could be leaking. Dealer checked it out and at least they thought it wasn't the shock. Have to go back through my posts because I can't remember their explanation any more. I haven't had any problems since until now.
Dealer did just recently do a service on it 60k (I believe) too. Could they not have tightened something down correctly which is causing fluid to leak towards or around the shock? Just not sure what fluids the bike has that would be reddish.
It's a reddish color so it isn't engine oil. The bottom of the shock is wet.
