Hi Dave try this it will help you fix them or you can change them at cost

Any recommendations on what to change them too??? Onlins well outa my price range
Im sure some owners have replaced them with Hagons shocks and that there are various quality's and prices,I may be corrected on that . ;)
Hagon Nitros :smile2:
Are they leaking from the shock itself? Or the hydraulic spring adjuster? If the latter then the "fix" may work. If the former it's new shocks or rebuild time...
The adjusters on mine seized up but a good soaking in WD40 and some working back and forth fixed that. Then one of them spat a small pool of oil out and the spring compression backed itself off as a result. I dialled it up again and hasn't leaked or moved since so I didn't bother with the "fix" but it looks pretty straightforward if you need to do it.
Note - on mine (K7) the drain plug is a Torx screw.
Cheers!

Brought bike for first hard spin... Looked like oil had dripped onto.ground.. When you looked at shift on shock it very wet
