3500 miles on the 2016 ES and after many many miles of nasty washboard, most recently in Death Valley, the rear shock took a dump.
Riding home I thought it seemed a little squishy but I was tired and just wanted to get home. Once home I put it up on the center stand and went about my business for a day or two. Come out to the garage and drop it off the center stand to get her ready for a good rinse off and she bounces like a yo yo. Looks like a possible oil leak around the shaft but not sure just yet. The real question is this. What now? Can she be rebuilt and if so, how hard is it to disassemble/reassemble the hydraulic lines and where would you suggest sending it for rebuild. Locally there's Dick's Racing Suspension, but anybody out there have another suggestion? If it can't be rebuilt, .....?
Thanks in advance.
