Leaking Rear YSS Shock
Buenos dias

Just discovered a leaking seal on my YSS rear shock, guessing it is not going to get any better where would be a place to get this fixed preferably in Mexico ?

Gracias amigos

Hi,
You might stand a better chance of having your shock fixed up in Hermosillo.
There is a fairly active motorcycle community there. Try contacting SR on the ADV forum "Is Mexico Safe" thread for suggestions. He rides on and off road. You would be surprised at the ingenuity of Mexican motorcycle mechanics (the good ones!) and also shops that do suspension service.
If it is rebuildable they will get it down. Is the leak from the reservoir or the body?

Heya Mike will track him down thank you, the leak is coming out of the seal on the bottom on the shock body/shaft
