What do you mean go?

In all honesty they should have the oil changed, and possibly the springs as they get 'soft' But forks dont 'go' they just weaken etc, same as the rear shock. All depends on how you ride, where you ride, and how heavy you are.

Slightly OT, and a stupid question but how do you test a rear shock for wear? Mines done about 8k just wondering how it is.

Just a matter of interest, who imparted this golden nugget of advice to you ?

Cheers Mark.

Same person who taught him to spell.


They don't "go", like any other part of a bike they require maintenance. However, the stock forks are not suited to an average weight rider to begin with.

A stock one, just run it until all the oil falls out, you couldn't make the performance much worse. You could put it on a shock dyno, and find that it's useless. Then try the same with a brand new one, and find it's useless.
