Why would both front shocks just go out, while i was putting around in my yard(just a couple small wheelies)? i noticed after bringing the front end off the ground,that i could feel my shocks bottom out. these shocks are in emaculate shape,so i didnt figure i had anything to worry about till now. any suggestions would be appreciated.rebuild? or buy new? Thanks,Gary

Those are nice,maybe just a recharge,C-27 could help with that.

are you sure they bottomed out or just used us some travel cause when you came down outta the wheelie the front came down fast, you will know if you bottom out the shocks you will normally have a hard jarring

every time i popped up, you can feel a hard jar from them. at first i thought i had slack in my steering shaft. then realized it was the shocks fully extending fast. so i stopped. and realized i can take one hand and bounce my front end up and down with ease.

Maybe your settings are to soft,did you just get the quad?

No, i have had the quad for a couple months. i could adjust the shocks until this happened. now when i turn the H-L,it doesnt do anything. feels like i just have two springs attached to the front end..lol

sounds like you are low on bump juice and need the shock doc
