Hey I have an '86 250R and the rear shock has no damping at all. It is way to soft. If I turn the dial to "hard" on the rezzy it is stiff way to soft. The shock is stock. What should I do? If I got it revalved would that solve this problem? Thanks.

atc86r did you send them the whole shock? What exactly did they do? Did you have to replace the spring? Did you tell them what to do or did they look at it and suggest what to have done? How long did it take?

For cheap you can rebuild it yourself. Changing the oil and adding nitrogen is only about $25-$30.

I agree w/Retro. Try changing oil and refilling your nitro. You may notice a big improvement.
