Anyone have problems with dirt getting inside the shocks?

For some reason its only on the rear shocks, the shock oil gets all dirt inside of them. Any ideas why?:mad:

It's the seals in the first place, and over time wear on the shafts will allow dirt to get through too. Try using some of that shock slime stuff or upgrade to the ORG03X double-seal o-rings.

Hi

Where can we get the ORG03X double-seal o-rings?

any shop that sells ZX5 spares should have them, or be able to get them.

Sadly I can only rely on online shops...

Is ORG03X the part number?
I've looked at a couple of online shops that sell the kit and parts but couldn't find it...
Has anyone got a link to a pic on an online shop website?

i think i figure it out why dirt only in the rear shocks.

the compression limiter i think may be pushing dirt into the shocks each time the shocks have full compression.

i just removed them for now, and put one AE rings. see how she goes. i not sure why you need the limiter for, as there is no bladder at the top anyway.
