2011 mega float mega problem ???

[yamman]

back from quebec yesterday trails great as usual 2010 gt with yamahcharger on since new 5000 miles no problems has up dates .looking at a couple of new and used se's met a guy from n y mega float would not retain pressure not happy stoped at dealer in montjoly looked at 2011 se 5000 miles mega gone i asked the sales person if they had any promlems with the megas as i have heard they are that was the first one they had back. i asked if i could have a look at it which i did the bottom of the shock on one side was spiit 1/2 in. and looked like a frozen split beer can it just looked as if it had water frozen in it at the bottom and split. the mega is mounted opposite to the front shock. so just wondering what prpoblems are realy out there? as always the dealers havent heard of any problems

When discussing the 2011 sleds with my dealer we discussed what might happen if your Mega is all set to go down here in MD or PA and what might happen to the pressure when you trailer up 12 hours up to QC where it might be significantly colder when you arrive.

I put the mega on my 07 gt 4000K so far with no problems, they are selling a lot here in Ontario,

I'm sure they will have problems, what doesn't, the ohlins had it's share if problems,

I can't see how water would get in unless it was forced in by a presure washer, can't be from riding,

I have the float x up front which are inverted and I haven't had problems yet with water getting in,(knock on wood)

I did put the airprene cover on the mega since new, will let you guys know how that turns out...

Just back from 3 great days in Lanaudier Quebec, 3600kms now and no problems at all! Trail was completely washed out around Saint Michel des Saints so pumped up the pressure 5lbs and pounded away. So far very impressed but sure would like to stay informed about that airprene cover! Sounds like a great idea as long as it didn't build up too much heat.

I lose about 20 lbs os air every 500 miles. Just told dealer about it today, said it was all new to him, and he would get back to me if this was normal.

out riding last night lost all air in rear shock!!!! drove home slowly took shock out & pumped it up too 200LBs & it has been holding pressure all night. Soaked shocked with soapy water & no leaks. Just went for short ride & it is still holding pressure. i can't figure out why it lost ALL pressure last night. Any ideas
