Having a few issues with my RP23 after local bike shop did and air can service on it. Rode on Saturday and noticed at the end of the ride oil running out which appeared to be coming from the stem which the pro pedal lever attaches. Went back to the shop later that day, and they managed to tighten the air sleeve a bit more and asked me to try it again. Took it out again tonight and it felt like a pogo stick also noticed the pro pedal lever seems very loose any ideas? it is holding air

Sounds like a shaft seal problem,it's not something that's touched during an air can service, so probably just a co-incidence. Will require a full strip and rebuild to get them changed.

Thanks for the info would this cause the lack of damping that I seem to have

Yes, it's the shaft seal on the control rod, full service time I'm afraid

Just as a quick one - I'd send it off to LoCo above. It'll be £65...

But.... he'll do a full strip, clean, replace of all seals and a nitrogen recharge 🙂 Believe me, it's worth a full service, it really does improve the ride.

If it's under warrenty , IIRC you need to send it to Mojo to keep the fox warrenty valid. Use Loco/et all after this period is up..
