Suspension Question
«

Alright, I created a post earlier in the week about my wife's kfx 700. The rear wanted to buck her off. Heres my question, I found that the rezzi for the rear shock was empty (no nitrogen, no pressure), how much nitrogen (pressure) should it have and if when I have it filled and it does not hold how much does it cost to have new seals or what ever is needed. Please keep in mind that this bike is a 2006 and it sounds like it came from the factory this way (out of warranty
) I wished the original owner could of figured this out.

In Tampa, I filled the rezzi last night (with air
) with 75lbs, this morning it has 50lbs. Definitely needs to be looked at.

I have heard some mixed reviews on elkas.. But from what I have heard, I wouldnt buy them..
I know someone whos rear shock blew out on practice...
If I was to build another bike with aftermarket suspension.. It would be using axis or pep.
