Rear shock issue, seeking input.

[sporty982000]

The rear shock on one of the three blasters.


It bounces easy, I tried adjusting and it did no good.

Its spungy and moves easy. Im thinking the shock is bad, but all that is working is the spring.
I hit someof the small dips and bumps in the yard and it will bounce my butt right off the seat and im only in 2nd or 3rd gear.

The other two blasters, rear shocks, I ride them around the yard. and they are stiffer and seem to work like they are suppose to.

But this other one, is just way to springy.

So, if the shock shot ? since I turned the two bolts up. I went 1/2 inch to 3/4 of a inch and it did not do anything. So I just turned it back to almost the bottom.

I have a spare rear shock, I have never used it. So I do not know if that one is any good.

But I wanted to see if others have seen this and if indeed the shock was bad ?

I haven't seen this on a blaster, without evidence of a fluid leak, However the stock shock has only preload adjustment.

I would say use a different one!

MY old 400ex shock with no nitrogen did this!

i would think the shock could be bad. i work on cars and if the shocks are spungy and just bounces alot means they are bad.

mine does the same thing but id rather have the worn out one than the good one because the good ones are just way too stiff
