[QUOTE="Someone, post: 1207844, member: 22237"] When I went to ride yesterday, it seemed like my seat was sitting lower than usual. I checked the linkage and swingarm, all seem to be moving correctly. When the bike is sitting on the ground, supporting it's own weight on the suspension, I can lift up the rear of the bike about 1" before it stops. When I let go, the bike sinks back down about an inch. The only thing I've done to my rear shock (months and many rides ago) was put on a stiffer spring because I was too heavy for the stock spring. So ruling out the bearings and linkage, I am thinking possibly my rear shock has a problem. Is it possible I lost some of the gas out of the shock? The shock itself looks normal and it's not leaking any oil. I have no idea how to check the pressure in the resevoir, could I use a simple air check guage you would use on your tires? What PSI should I have? I have a buddies RM 250 in my garage, and when I weigh down his rear suspension, it goes all the way back up to where I can't lift it up like I can lift mine about 1". If there are any stock 05 YZ250 owners out there, could you please measure from the axle nut straight up to the rear fender and let me know the measurement? Thanks all. [/QUOTE]
