Hi all,
I have a monoshck for an 1150 GSA which is in good condition although I have no experience of it being fitted to the bike. The banjo bolt which connects the hydraulic line (from the preload remote) to the main body of the shock has come loose, causing an unknown amount of oil to escape. The remote adjuster has no resistance whatsoever as a consequence. I have read the thread which describes how to top up the remote adjuster, but what I need advice on is whether or not the loose banjo bolt has also allowed the nitrogen to escape?
Before I pay for a full rebuild I would like to know whether it's worth trying the top up oil method, clearly if the nitrogen has escaped this is a non starter.
Any knowledge greatly appreciated.
