Hey guys, I recently this weekend picked up a 2013 m8 sp with 600km on it. After getting it home I started to clean it etc.. And noticed that when I sit on it I was able to bottom out the fox float by bouncing on in just a little. After getting off it I bent down to check it out and the shock never raised back up it just stayed sagged down with about 3" of travel on it. I went to the back lifted it back up and it stayed at full length, doesn't sag down on it's own weight. My biggest concern is isn't the shock suppose to spring back up after getting off it?

Thanks

Is your track on a dolly? this will put a lot more weight on the rear shock. How much air pressure is in it?

Go to your local Motorcycle accesory store and buy a pump. The ones for Harley are cheaper. NEVER try to pump it up with your shop compressor.

Awsome everything is fine, took it off the Dolly's last night and everything is perfect! I went to the Harley dealer and their shock pumps only go up to 60psi
