RE: Suspension Advice Needed
Sorry about the absence, short break!
Right, took her for an MOT, and she passed. My mate pointed out the shock and I confessed I knew about it, he said it should be a fail. The spring is fine, it has to be the damper. The noise I am hearing seems to be the bike as it is thrown up with no damping force against the stop. My damping screw will turn half a turn with very little resistance then to a stop in either direction.
It has either had an oil leak prior to me buying it, or it is just knackered. I have had no fluid loss while I have had her. Time to start looking for a replacement I think.

You should get one full turn on the rebound screw. There are always a few cheap ones popping up on ebay.
