Default Raptor Rear Shock

My Rear shock on my Raptor never seemed to great from day one but, lately it is real bad. It seems to compress and, rebound super fast like a pogo stick and, only seems to have action (rebound or compression for 1/4 of the stroke. Is this a sign that it is blown? Can i get it recharged or, repaired some where? What is the cost for this? I really don't have the $ right now for all new Suspension.

Thanks for any help!

If your bike is that new it shouldnt be blown unless you had a few bad landings. Have you tried adjusting it?

I've adjusted the preload and, compression from the srews all the way in to all the way out and, every point in between. It seems to make 0 difference. It is like a spring board. the only rebound slowing action it has is at the top 1/8 of the travle which is gone once it is sat on. Can the seals blow or, something.

can it be repaired? and, set up to match my weight? It seems to have all the adjustments that the aftermwrket ones have. I would think it could be fixed and, reset for my weight???

Yes the stock shock can be rebuilt, I'm running a TCS dual rate rebuilt shock because the stocker wasn't cutting it with my extended swingarm, I couldn't be happier with it.
