Wow- sorry to read this. That sounds weird to me. I have not experienced this- my suspension has been trouble-free. What year bike do you have?

It is a 2011 1200s Multistrada this will be the third one that has leaked on me I only had this one replaced 1 months ago now it's leaking again the one before that lasted about 14 months luckily it was still under warranty apparently the parts have 2 year warranty the one before that was the original it started to leak after 7 years that's the latest brand new one I had put in only 1 months old can't believe it taking it back to Arthur at desmo headquarters in Byron Bay

Good thing it is still under warranty.
I imagine it would be a very expensive fix.
