That bike's seen more action than an 80 y/o hooker!
Get new bearing and hardware all the way around and get the shock to Push

Is there something wrong with the shock that he failed to tell me about?

I had an idea the bike would be clapped when I bought, and I was right, after all I did only pay $1,600. The bearing and hardware is for sure but he didn't mention anything about the shock.

No, nothing like that. All his suspension issues were his 40 blowing up all the time.:busted: I just said the Push thing because its probably due for a rebuild and they feel awesome.

The hardware is a must though.

A DHX rebuild can be done in the parking lot with 5wt oil, a crescent wrech, vice, allen wrench, and ruler in 10 minutes or less. No need to send it to Push unless you are a member of the fan club.

Will it be custom shimmed to the leverage rate of the bike, your weight and terrain?
Will it be nitro charged to provide more consistant damping?

V10's are notoriously overleveraged (3.6:1) and benefit greatly from a trip to Push.

What Push does is way more than a simple rebuild. And no, I'm not a member of any fanclub. I can recognize a quality service that improves performance though.

DG, does it have a 600 lb spring? If not, look into that too.

Its got a 500lb, I ordered a 550 but not sure really what I should go with. I used the TF Tuned calculator and 550lb came up for a 240lbish rider, Im 270 at the moment but I'll probably drop to 250 by the end of winter. Plus Id rather have the bike soft.

I'd talk to Push directly about this. My buddy Joe regularly bottoms his V10 with a 600 spring and he's under 190.

Peaty and Rennie were running 600's according to Push.
