Default Rear Shock

I went to a big track today about an hour away. The track has some massive doubles and long tabletops. The ds650 done great except for one thing. The resevoir?, I'm guessing that is what it is, that is connected to the rear shock by a hose came loose from the atv today. It dropped down by the chain and loosened itself off a bit causing the fluid to come out. The shock is extremely spongy. I was wondering if there was a way to fill it back up?, or do I just need to get a new shock. If I would have noticed the resevoir dropped down I could have put it back up before it loosened the nut on the line, and it would have been fine. Soon as I noticed it I drove it to the truck and loaded it up. Thanks for any help, If I have to buy another shock just pm me a price if you have an extra. Color isn't important. Thanks

Mann, I fell for you Tiger, If you go to buy a new one Its going to be exspensive. So If I was you I'd go aftermarket, Because for One to Two hundred dollars more you can be that much softer through the back bracking whoops....remember the whoops..... you need comfort so you can keep on going. "remember the thrill of the ride when you can keep going". good luck on your new journey.

Thanks DuneRider, I don't know if they can refill it because when it fell off it ate about half of the valve stem off of the resevoir
