[QUOTE="RsvlFeej, post: 402435, member: 2990"] '05 ABS. I weigh about 240. Always ride with side bags on, but not heavily loaded. Shock #1 catastrophic failure at about 6K miles - big puddle of clear oil on the floor = warrantee item Shock #2 died of old age at about 35K - some weeping, but never a drop on the ground - wear item (I double-checked), so no $$ from Yamaha/YES Shock #3 is down to its last 5 clicks of adjustment at about 53K - bought a new Penske in the group buy, but haven't had time to make the trip up to Portland to get it replaced yet. The plus side is, I get to blame all my peg-wear on riding my shocks to death - yeah, yeah, that's it... :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
