Yambanshee Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 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?

bbcmudtruck Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbcmudtruck Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Check with your local shop, they may be able to do it cheaper. However there is a nice shock in the for sale section for $75. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxMeltIcexX Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Ive got a polished one for sale. http://www.bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=109276 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yambanshee Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
