shock rebound

(1/2) > >>

ruputa:
Have some ?'s about rebound:

94 stock rear shock
has oil no leaks
both rebound and compression set at mid point
no rebound control
Rear of the bike just pops right back up?????

Help,
Thanks

ruputa:
Update...Took the upper valva out and drained the oil out...the oil had a ton of bubbles like burnt automatic transmission fluid. Replaced oil and now have rebound control!?!? Now another ?...Does anyone know how much fluid the shock should hold?

Thanks

teamgreen500:
What happens when you add rebound (Increase the rebound)?

If nothing....blown shock/valving...maybe just  bad oil or nitrogen.

It's 10 years old...REVALVE TIME!

Good luck...ask Rick if he can make you a "One-Handed" valving special! :shock:

 :roll:

Good Luck!

Manny

ruputa:
Thanks Manny....looks like bad oil...need to know shock oil capacity. What is a "one handed valve" deal???????

Thanks very much
