Leaking rear Fox Float RL. Basically I pump it up and either an hour or a day later its empty again.

I already know I can send it off to MOJO to get it repaired, I also saw on their site what they do to the shock, which seems like quite a task....anyway I can follow instructions but dont have any special tools which it seems I might need.

Or am I wrong...is their some special kit I can buy which is relatively easy to fit which will cure the leak??

    How old is it? Any chance of a warranty repair?
    You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
    If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
    If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.

    Your seals have gone mate about £ 40 quid for the kit.

    Probaly if serviced by MOJO be around £ 95 pounds
    but then if any update changes in they will complete and also have a
    warranty for a year too.

    Just had my 08 Fox Talas 36'rs back and what a difference they made to
    them and they updated the internals all for £ 99.00p FAB

    Right, top advice cheers. Definitely going with the MOJO service then. Hopefully they will come back better than they were :lol:

    Cheers,

    You can buy a rear shock air can service kit for around £10 of TFtuned,and it will take you around 20mins to do.All the tools you will need are allen keys to remove the shock,you even get a small pillow container of oil in the kit,If you require a guide just ask.
