first off the stock shocks (FOX with remote resevoirs and the ones with out)on our quads are not ,FOX racing shocks,they are Fox but they are a bargin bin cheap shock,and yes they all suffer from a lack of rebound .About all you can do is adjust up the spring,you dont want it to go all the way up you shoud set it so when you pick up the rear grab bar the have about 3/4 to 1" of play. the more you adjust the rebound the tighter the compression gets as well.Thats the difference between a racing shock and a cheaper look a like race shocks are fully adjustable.The peoples that still have warrentys bring them back and they will/should recharge or replace the shock,Of coarse they are going to say they are suposed to work that way! ya right.

I have a 99 scram 400. I had lots of problems bottoming out .Im 6-2 and weight 285. wayyy to much for stock shocks. they are only rated for a 185 lbs rider. I kept landing so hard I would bend the bottom bolt holding shock also broke plastic threds on rebound ajuster. So I took it to goodwin performance. they rebilt and revalved for my weight. I also put a heavy spring from aaen on back. I had time on sat. to go for a ride at a friends. he built a some jumps any where from 2ft to 5 ft. I had no problems landing with comfort. also not rough on trails. so for $75.00 I can jump and not bottomout. I just leave the adjuster nut to the lowest setting and it worked exelent. just my two cents worth

Stand your sc on the grab bar with all 4 wheels against the garage wall. Now back off aways and start running straight towards the seat, accelerate to 60mph and jump. I think that be a better test of compresion, I believe the shock is soft at slow speeds and stiffer as the hits get harder. I know riding the main trail at Baldwin(40miles of mean whoops) the sc500 handles the whoops much better at higher speeds the slow.

Sweetcorn's got it!
It's just a matter of speed. When you push down on your grab bar, the oil has time to move (and BTW does not offer you much resistance). Think about it...that's good. When you're riding slowly, you don't want your shock to be as hard as if you were riding 60mph+.
If you guys want to know how a real sports quad does, I can almost bottom my shee also...and I'm 150lbs. And it does work very well in jumps and bumps.
