[QUOTE="DEANSFASTWAY, post: 396399, member: 31309"] Yeah looks a little stiff on comp . Take out a few of those 40s or seek professional help or assistance elsewhere. Maybe something is wrong with the rebound adjuster needle sometimes they can get stuck on full hard and you will have no bypass. The needlr can also get clogged with locktite or if the guy had the lower clevis removed , the clevis could be installed (too deep) causing the needle not to move/adjust. He had to be a real numbskull to install the piston upside down so I doubt that happened. If you are skilled I would try to remove some of that compression stack and try again after checking the rebound adjuster ( to some affect the rebound adjuster affects compression by hindering flow on downstroke). If youve ever tried to bleed a shock with the adjuster needle stuck or seized youll find it almost impossible to stroke. Also the bike would have been packing real bad .Only and this is next to impossible to do but I have seen it happen , is that someone really overfilled the shock so far that it depressed/compressed the bladder to the point that there is no more compressable space in the shock and the shaft& piston wont go in . This is usuallu followed by the reservoir cap blowing off it will feel like your sitting on a brick . This last peice of motorcycle terrorism rates highest on the dumbass scale and is to be avoided at all costs because its dangerous. I saw this happen to a brand new high dollar quad shock that was built incorrectly. The remote rreservoir cap dislodged off and shot out like a cannon . GOOD LUCK DEAN [/QUOTE]
