hey, came back from a pretty hard days riding, checked bike over, and noticed the bottom out bumper has been "sucked" into the shock body. pulled it out, no leaks or problems....so, did the best thing...left it to next day, and went riding again. same happened. think im bottoming it out too hard, and somehow pulling a bit of the bumper into the shock.

has anyone else had this problem?! and how may it be rectified, other than a different spring weight, as, i cant get one closer to the recomemded weight unless i go over.

cheers

Turn up the compression damping.

compression damping should be off, unless you want it to blow...

Do you need a heavier spring?

when mine got sucked up there were no leaks or nothing but the shock didn't work for s**t after, check everythings working before your next ride

Sorry mate, gonna hijack...

Which ones the compression, red or blue? Because the blue dial on mine is really stiff and was since new, dont wanna take an allen key to it and force it in case nastiness happens...

Compression is blue.

Unless, like Manitou, you thought that would be too simple, so you swapped it round...

Tom, what ever you do you need to trim off those bits of rubber as they would get sucked in. Yu r shock is quite plush though so maybe a bit of added compression won't go amiss, yes it might not be so sensitive on the smaller bumps but then it's the big bumps you should be worrying about anyway!

try the compression before a stiffer spring. Don't think I've got any 600s lying around but will have a look

PS you are
