OK EVERYONE GOT A PROBLEM, THIS WEEKEND I TOOK MY BIKE OUT OF TOWN ON MY TRUCK AND WHEN I TIED IT DOWN I COMPRESSED THE FRONT END QUITE A BIT AND THE LEFT FRONT SHOCK, (IS THAT THE RIGHT NAME?) LEAKED FLUID IT WAS BLUE AND IT LEAKED QUITE A BIT. IT ONLY DID IT ON THE LEFT SIDE. THE QUESTION IS HOW TO FIX THAT? WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO REPLACE? SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT MOTORCYCLE SHOPS REPLACE THE SEALS AND ADD FLUID AND IT'S FIXED, THEY SAID IT WAS LIKE $50. ANYONE EVER DONE THAT? ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
