suspension poping noise and feel?
I've got a almost brand new 2003 Gas Gas Wild 300 Hp ( ATV ) I had it out last Sunday and noticed a slight pinging feeling in my handlebars. I thought maybe something had come loose as it felt to be the front suspension.
Today I lifted it up and checked it out. I noticed my front right shock is making a poping when it decompresses it pops when it is fully extended? The left side does not do this. Any suggestions on this? I'm wondering if the shock is bad and I'm kind of clueless? Thanks in advance. Shane 918 630-1533 |

Could be that the shock is under filled, when it compresses it sucks down the seal head...when the shock rebounds it pops back into place.
Does the shock have a resevior, if so, it might have lost it's nitrogen pressure causing the same effect. Just a theory though. Check the A-arm linkage, to make sure everything is tight? If that's all tight, time to remove the shock, pull off the spring and investigate what might be happening. |

The shocks are ohlins gold series
With a resorvior. How do I refill those if they are out of nitrogen? Is this expensive? Thanks for the help!

It might be the shock bushing. This is an ohlins shock? Right?
