I recently bought my 2002 ZG back in April, and since then I've put just shy of 5000 miles on it. With my trip to Canada coming up next week, I've been going through the bike and I noticed my rear shock doesn't seem to hold pressure.
I use a $20 Slime air compressor to fill it, it screws onto the stem to prevent leaks, and the highest I set it is 40 PSI for two-up riding with gear (I'm 200, shes 110 and I had about 40 or 50 in the bags). I left it like that and never adjusted it, but I've noticed it's gotten very bouncy recently, especially riding two up. When I went to check it yesterday, it was at 0 PSI. I filled it back to 15 PSI, since I'm solo most of the time, but it still feels super bouncy over bumps.
My rebound is set to "2" in case that helps.
I'm hoping it's not shot, and maybe I simply have it set wrong? If I do have to replace it, what are my options besides the $850 OEM?
