This may sound like a dumb question but is there some kind of fluid that could be leaking out of the shocks? I noticed today on the bottom of one of my rear shocks where the shock bolts to the chassis there is a puddle of some kind of oil.

Are these shocks not nitrogen filled? I thought I heard or read that somewhere? But I'm also guessing they have oil in them for lubrication. I'd say take it for warranty if it's coming from the shock.

taking it in for warranty is probably the best thing to do, it's still new, they're still obligated to fix it.

id bring it in to have it checked

you checked the fluid out and it had the consistency of oil ?

 

[Badger]

Yes exactly Tech Man is right your should make use of the warranty while its still valid. I would bring it straight in to the dealer if it was me. Keep us posted on whatever decision you make.

Update: they DO have some sort of oil in them. I took it in and the tech confirmed it. I am guessing it is a common problem because the shocks are back ordered for 3 weeks. Honestly it is kind of worry some because i haven't even begun to really put it through it's paces, but i guess it could happen to anything new.

Oh dont worry it is all Viking parts period that are backordered. Took 2 months for my drive shaft to come in.

Crap that's a long time.
At least as time goes on we can expect the turn around time on parts to get better.

 

[vikingss212]

I sure hope so

 

[Hawkman]

2 months for any part!? That is crazy. Are you sure that is the across the board wait time?

Would the wait time have gone up or down since you had to wait for your drive shaft?

 

[aronsrb]

they are going to be a little behind on parts because the machines are still pretty new and the parts are still primarily being used for production, but they will catch up

 

[cheeyz]

strange how they would sell them without having spare parts ready to go

I have been waiting for my brush guard to come in since the first week in January. My dealer told me that it is expected to be in in late March. This is the second time it has been pushed back by Yamaha.
