Default rear shock leak

my 87 warrior's rear shock appears to be leaking fluid after a day of riding. there's a puddle on the floor of my shed right under the shock and is about the size of a music CD. the rear doesn't lift when you pick the rear up so the shock can't be bad....? it does squat quite a bit with me on it though. i weigh 160 so i dunno if that's normal or not....? any help would be great

Find a local shop that repairs atv/sled shocks. They are cheaper than you might think to repair.

do you have a ballpark range of how much it would cost?

I am not an expert on shock repair, but it sounds like a seal is leaking. Shocks need rebuilding after awhile. I would suggest explain your situation to a repair shop and see if they can give you a price range. Depending on where you live, there are places that specialize in shock repair. You might have better luck with them.

if I had to GUESS... under $50 (if you remove the shock yourself).

Don't ride the bike w/o fluid in the shock, you will do more damage to it.

Good luck!
