Speaking of shocks, I now remember that the right front shock on my BGT
seemed to be damping less than it ought towards the end of the summer.
Much to my surprise, when I took a look at it the cap was not on the top
of the damper body -- as shown in the manuals and parts catalogs -- but
on the side.
So my initial thought of 'just topping it up' to see if that helped was
replaced by a thought of 'will some of the oil drain out of that hole if
I remove the cap?'.
I didn't have time to remove the damper before storage season (although
I did get as far as giving the area a good cleaning).
So, all of you damper experts: must I remove the damper to add oil? Is
this worth bothering about at all, or should I just arrange to install
rebuilt dampers?
