What are the effects of oil leakage in motorcycle front shock absorbers?
1 Answers
If there is excessive oil leakage in the motorcycle front shock absorbers, it will affect the comfort and stability of the motorcycle, leading to a decline in both. Prolonged oil leakage can also increase the wear and tear of the shock absorbers, shortening their normal service life. Moreover, if the leakage is significant, the oil may drip onto the brake discs, posing a driving hazard. For safety reasons, it is recommended to replace them promptly. Below is relevant information: 1. Oil leakage in motorcycle front shock absorbers may not have a major immediate impact, but prolonged leakage and reduced oil levels will inevitably negatively affect the motorcycle's handling performance. 2. Shock absorber oil leakage may be due to a decline in the sealing performance of the oil seal. During driving, sand and mud can enter the shock absorbers, causing friction with the oil seal when the shock absorbers compress or rebound. Over time, the sealing performance of the oil seal will be lost. 3. Shock absorbers are equipped with dust covers, which are rubber products. Rubber products can age with prolonged use. If the dust cover is damaged or aged, it is advisable to replace it immediately. During regular vehicle maintenance, it is also important to clean the sand and mud from the shock absorbers to extend their service life.
