Just checked the negative air pressure on my Revs and when I removed the shock pump quite a lot of oil came out - what's the problem and how easy to fix?
It's not a problem.
Isn't it just a bit of the lube oil coming out and will be greater if the bike is not upside down? Happened on mine a fair amount until I stripped them down for a service which included replacing crush washers and valve core and only put the recommended volume in which was only 5ml per leg or something.
Was the fork the correct way up? Yellow oil?
If so its just the fluid from inside the neg air chamber. If doing a lot of pressure tweaks/changes I flip the bike so as not to result in too much oil loss. (entirely possible there is not need for me to worry about this but i do it anyway).
Depends how much is quite a lot.
Spit on the floor. That much? Fine.
Pint of water? Slap yourself in the face for putting too much lube into the air spring leg.
Thanks all
Bike was upside down
Have seen a bit of lube come out before but this was more like a teaspoonful
