·hi all, mark in mesa here. the rear shock on my '05 (15,000 miles)exhibits the symptom i read about on this list a while back that leads me to believe that there is air in the shock assembly. the shock motor only starts to "load up" when the display reads 5 and above, not at 1 like it should. my local dealer tells me that he's familiar with the problem and that, in fact, honda knows all about the problem but will not do anything about it unless the shock is actually leaking fluid onto the ground. according to him this issue is only a problem for heavy riders and passengers and since my wife and i together only weight 320 lbs. we shouldn't worry about it unless the shock starts to leak. kinda makes sense to me since i run the shock at 10 when solo and at 15-20 when 2-up and loaded and the bike seems to ride and handle just fine. anyone have similar experience with their bike, and is it just a matter of time before the rear shock fails completely? thanks for any input
