A motorcycle's shock absorber (aid) is pouring oil from both sides, prompting an investigation into potential causes such as low oil, poor manufacturing quality, or external damage. The repair process involves disassembling, cleaning, and potentially replacing components, with the issue being covered under a 3000 km warranty.
The motorcycle's shock absorber (aid) is pouring oil from both sides, which is surprising for an engine that has worked 3000 times without previous oiling problems.
Several reasons could cause the oiling aid: running low on oil, completely poor factory quality, or external damage from a 'bad handle' fall. Further investigation revealed a crooked rod ('dream') with holes in it, and potentially worn bearings.
The repair involves completely opening the aid, washing its components with gasoline for 8 to 30 minutes, and inspecting for issues like a weakening spring or worn bearings. Practical steps include replacing the bowl and changing bearings if damaged.
The shock absorber repair was covered by warranty for up to 3000 kilometers, meaning no payment was required. However, servicing two cylinders without warranty would cost 2,600,000 Tomans.
This experience showed that oil burning, oil reduction, and issues with the two cylinders can occur over time, even reaching a breaking point at 3000 km, highlighting critical maintenance aspects.
Servicing two cylinders without warranty would cost 2,600,000 Tomans, an unbelievable amount.
