The rear shock, that is. i noticed it made quite a disturbing noise after i was getting rather creative with ridding of the pits on the front forks. I know that shocks are meant to make a noise but this is different, it only happens when you compress it, and then the normal air noise when you depress it. also it compresses quite a bit so im wondering if i should pump it up a lil bit coz im not a small guy by any means as mentioned in my other threads so if i did pump her up, would it be prone to break under my weight? should i be looking at getting a better shock ie ohlins or something? also i dont even know how to pump it up. my uncle mumbled something about doing it in small increments. any ideas?

after further consulation (sp?) with my bike its not that bad of a noise, just does it sometimes, but i think the shock IS doing its job, will take it down to tss anyway, look foward to a big payout from this stew i'm gonna need a few bits done :P

nah to be honest it just makes more of a farty noise lol, and its not me.
you know how you imitate someone farting with your tounge out and spit goin everywhere, thats what it sounds like. i was thinking it may just need a bit o grease on the outside and more air
