Sold mine with 7k on it, no leaks, just a cheapo shock, with no damping

Do same with a better one fitted and you reduce squat under power... not because of fat rider, because of weight transfer under power. You do research and find out why this is true. Same will happen if you do not have a rider on bike at all. Stock shocks complete lack of compression damping does not help. regarding lifespan, shock oil like any other loses viscosity over time and use. 10,000 miles is reasonable lifespan.

Then after finding the massive difference with that it was plainly obvious that after inheriting the black one with 27k on it, and putting 6 more on, that needed changing too. I managed to pick up a stock shock with a garanteed 1500 miles only on it, altough not as good as the Hagon, a significant difference has been noted.
