I'm under attack!

[acemastr]

So, get home after what I'd say was a fairly hard ride... back bike in, begin putting chain though wheel and BANG!

Something hit the trailer next to the bike... I'm thinking what the bloody hell was that? is someone throwing things at me or did something fall off the roof?!?!?

No....

It was this:

Which came off of this:

Now... am I the next Rossi who is overheating his rear suspension on the road? or are my settings so far out that loads of heat is being generated? The end cap is actually distorted.

Id guess its just the black cap, the red bit is the top off a chain lube aerosol can!

Could have a slight leak on that valve which has pressurised behind the cap?

It is indeed on a chain lube lid.

Went for another run after and the reservoir was so hot I could only touch it for a second or two, seems very odd to get _that_ hot, hot weather or not.

how is the suspension feeling? same as it is always or softer/harder

No different really, I gave it a click of rebound the other day, rode in today and it felt fine, will give it a proper warm up on the way home and feel the reservoir.
