I bought a near used Elka Elite rear shock, to match my fronts, off a forum member a couple of weeks ago. The shock showed up quick, just as described, all around great deal. I went to install it tonight but when i went to mount it to the frame, the line was was not quite at the right angle. so I slightly loosened the brass bolt and pivoted the line. As expected, a small amount of fluid escaped along with a small blast of air.
Once it was installed, I adjusted all adjustments to the middle settings. It is super soft, with just the weight of the quad, the 1st spring is fully compressed. The shock has very little travel. Im assuming I need to add air back to the resivoir to stiffen it back up but wanted to check if anyone else has experienced this before.
