Good evening all ...


I am new here and only my second post. I just bought my first Harley within the last month and will have questions from time to time. I only have 1100 miles on her and love the ride. I went for a little short ride after work today and when getting on the bike noticed a small amount of oil dripping from the left rear shock, it appears the shock has blown the seal. The only adjustments I have made to the shocks is with one of the little hand pumps, so I know I did not blow any seals with to much air pressure. Has anyone else had this problem?


Thanks in advance

Right to the dealer with that one!

My left rear shock leaked all the oil out too. Replaced under warranty a couple of weeks ago.

 

Looks like you blew a seal.

 

mine started leaking at about 100 miles. contacted my local dealer who stated they have had problems with shocks leaking. they even had one on the dealer floor leaking they had to replace. took my scoot in - they replaced - no issues since.

 

Find away to upgrade to the premium shocks. Use the warranty and upgrade, if they will work with you. The stock shocks are on the top of my chit list on theses bikes. Iv got 11k miles and only recently replaced the shocks, it should have been the first thing I did.

 

The right rear shock on my '15 Road King started leaking at about 100 miles. Dealer replaced it but I went ahead and upgraded to Progressive 944s.

 

How are those shocks? Your weight, passenger weight? Do you ride 2up a lot? Am looking in to a different rear setup. The construction in my area is going to go on for a couple of years and the holes and cracks sucker last year.

 

I also own a 2014 Limited. If you can I would highly recommend you change your shocks. The improvement is dramatic. I went with Legend Revo shocks. There are many good brands out there, do your research and go with what works for you. Realize it sucks spending money on a bike you just purchased. Welcome to the world of Harley ownership.
