Rear shock springy

Post by themadindian »

when i bought my kdx the guy told me that the rear shock needed a charge when when i looked at it the preload was all the way at the top so i ran the nut down and it wasnt springy went on a ride and now its springy no rebound dampening i guess. Now do i need to replace the shock or do i take it somewhere to get it charged?

if it was me I'd service it, tear it down, clean replace the oil and then have it charged. Might be why it's not "springy"...
