If you have the standard shocks then they are probably oil filled. If this is the case (i'm 92% sure) then your shock just went toast. You will need a new one. What happens is that when a rock or some sort of road debris gets kicked up by the wheel and gets stuck inside the shaft covers on the shock. The foreign object then wears the rubber seal and then when under pressure the seal breaks and out comes gushing guuii stuff. When you get your shoch out collapse and expand the shock. If you get resistance expanding/collapsing the shock that is good. If the shock collapses with little or no pressure then that is your problem. I had this same thing happen to my fasty. I literally had no shock pressure in any of the four shocks. They all collapsed with just the weight of the upper mount. Scary huh?
