Anybody else having trouble with this fork? I rode mine for a total of about 4 hours before it started leaking oil all over the place. Its on its way back to RockShox right now.

Thats exactly where mine is leaking from and its also leaking from the right stantion. Roughly how long did it take you to get another fork back? I was planning on going on a trip next Wednesday but i'm not sure how thats going to work anymore

Interesting, because they told me that its really odd that it leaked from there and they hadnt seen it before. Almost all RS forks seep a little oil from there, but this is missing at least 15ccs of oil. I couldnt grab the lower and hold on to it to pick the bike up to set on my rack because my hand was slipping off.

I got the fork sent to my local shot this time before I have to send my fork back, so turnaround time will be less, but the last 6-7 times its been about exactly a week for my fork to get back.

All right thanks man. It wasn't leaking any oil at all and I thought I had gotten a good totem after hearing so much bad about them, and I then got down one run at my local bike hill (which is a 2 minute ride down lol) and my whole fork was soaked in oil, like i literally had my gloves soaked in oil for the whole night from wiping my fork down everytime I got back up the lift.

Yep, thats exactly what happened to mine. It was great for a month or 2 this time (ive had every problem under the sun with the others, this is the 8th time Ill have a lyrik sent back) I figured i was in the clear..... to bad it blew up. I had it all over my leg enough that it got in my shin cuts from dirt jumping and I noticed it itched, thats how I first noticed it.
