Has anyone the likely cause that when I ride my buell x1 Lightning it feels like Im riding a pogo stick!? There doesn't seem to be an oil leak or is it time to regass ??

The oem shocks are not meant to be rebuild able however some have been able to do it. Sounds like time for a replacement. I picked up a used Works Performance shock last year and it is a nice improvement and made to be rebuilt. Either a Works or Penske would be an expensive but excellent upgrade.

Shock was rebuilt last year with new parts and regassed all has been ok til now? I have limited funds so a new unit is not viable( I know I shouldn't have bought a Buell!!) can anyone help?
