Dumb question, I just bought a 1994 300ex and over all the machine is in great shape. Thought the ride seems very stiff. Does any one know the life limit on the front and rear shocks? I know that it is rider dependant, but are there any real tell tale signs to see if the suspension has gone bad? Thanks

 

I think you should first check if the suspension is tightened all the way. If it is then loosen it and see how it rides. It should ride very smooth loose.
