All of sudden his car breaks down. Luckily, he's pretty close to gas station. So he waddles behind his car and pushes it to the gas station. He asks the mechanic to take a look and find the problem. Mechanic tells him to come back in 30 minutes. So the penguin is getting hot being in the desert and all, and decides to find something to cool him off. He goes in the convenience store and buys some vanilla ice cream. He eats the ice cream and makes a big mess on his face. Finally he goes back to the mechanic to find out the problem. Mechanic says," Looks like you blew a seal." To which the penguin replies, "No, no. It's just a little ice cream."</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Sent from <a href="https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986">Mail</a> for Windows 10</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><div style="mso-element:para-border-div;border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal" style="border:none;padding:0in"><b>From: </b><a href="mailto:gregspiano@gmail.com">Greg Berger</a><br><b>Sent: </b>Sunday, June 6, 2021 12:36 AM<br><b>To: </b><a href="mailto:deilenberger@gmail.com">Don Eilenberger</a><br><b>Cc: </b><a href="mailto:njsbmwr@casano.com">NJSBWMR-Mail_Server</a><br><b>Subject: </b>Re: Front shock bed seal?</p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Thanks for the detailed response Don I appreciate it I will look into these things.

The shock is between the two fork legs and does the damping and springing work - the fork-leg has nothing but air and a bit of oil in it.</p><p>That does look like a decent leak. There are tricks that you can use sometimes to save replacing the seal (involving a piece of 35mm film stock, or a specially made plastic piece that slides between the seal and the fork tube and clean out anything that might be caught in the seal.) Sometimes the seal does need replacing - and it isn't a huge job - but if you've never done one (I'm guessing) you might want to take it to Mike and have him do it.</p><p>I wouldn't worry about riding it over to Mike - you won't damage anything - just clean off the oil, and if you really want to keep oil from blowing back on your leg, tie an old rag around the top of the fork slider (the bottom part) so it catches the oil.</p><p>HTH,</p><p>Don</p><div><p class="MsoNormal">On 6/5/2021 9:49 PM, Greg Berger wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt"><pre>I noticed my front left shock on my 2004 1150 RT is leaking something. maybe a blown seal in the shock absorber. if anybody has any ideas please let me know thank you</pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre><span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">🎹</span> Greg B Rt</pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><p class="MsoNormal"><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre><span style="font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif">🎹</span> Greg B Rt</pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><blockquote style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt"><pre>On Jun 5, 2021, at 4:46 PM, Don Eilenberger <a href="mailto:deilenberger@gmail.com"><deilenberger@gmail.com></a> wrote:</pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre><span style="font-family:"Tahoma",sans-serif"></span><a href="https://rollingphysicsproblem.wordpress.com/2021/06/05/relativistic-rubber-band/">https://rollingphysicsproblem.wordpress.com/2021/06/05/relativistic-rubber-band/</a></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre>From my friend Greg - more musings on a Zero..</pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre>-- </pre><pre>Don Eilenberger</pre><pre><a href="mailto:deilenberger@gmail.com">deilenberger@gmail.com</a></pre><pre><o:p> </o:p></pre></blockquote></blockquote><pre>-- </pre><pre>Don Eilenberger</pre></div></blockquote><pre style="mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:.5in;margin-bottom:5.0pt;margin-left:.5in"><a href="mailto:deilenberger@gmail.com">deilenberger@gmail.com</a></pre><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New""><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div>
