Observations:

its on all its firmest settings, but feels VERY soft

when i put some weight on the back end, and let it come back up it rebounds so fast the back wheels slightly lift

it bottoms out extremely easily

when i bounce on the back end once it bounces around a lot (if that makes any sense)

compared to my dad's (his works great) my rear gas canister feels solid, where his is sort of hollow

 

what would you say it is, and what do you recomend i do about it?

Thanx Zander

Sounds like your either out of fluid, or need nitrogen, or a combo of the two. Its probably rebounding up so fast because your low on fluid or nitrogen and the spring is the only thing working. You can pay a shop to service it for you for $100 bucks or so, or buy a good used one for $75...

by buy, do you mean im going to need to replace the reservoir, or its simply cheaper to buy a whole new one?

Thanx for the offer, however its not worth it as im way over in the middle east and shipping is more expencive as the actual product. Another problem, qatar (being one of the smallest countrys of the world) does not have one spare shock, and the last time the yamaha dealer sold their last part it cost around 500 dolor as the whole rear suspension has to be sold as 1
