I have just rebuilt my bike. I removed the shocks which are the standard air ride/air float assist for the XMR Outlander 2011. Everything worked great before. They were sat for about 3 months.
My fronts now top out with a bang.
Is there a specific setup for these? For instance should they be uncompressed or compressed when first using? I struggle to see them loosing oil and needing a rebuild as no oil has been lost (that I have seen) and they were perfect before hand.
I do however now have the superatv a arm kit fitted which I did not have before so I could possibly understand this may cause a problem BUT I have been unable to find anyone else relate to this being a problem and my friend has the a arms fitted to the same bike and has not had this problem so I feel it would be way too easy to blame this.
Ideally need someone who understands these shocks to tell me if this is a shock problem and if there is some way of repairing or tuning.
You may suggest they need sending to FOX for a rebuild but that is not an option. I am in the UK and we do not have a FOX shox rebuilder here mainly because the sport/hobby is very limited. Sending the shocks to FOX USA would cost an absolute fortune. :sad
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
