Default RE POST: PLEASE LOOK

Don't mean to be annoying but I'm leavin in a few hours and just want the peace of mind this is not a rear shock issue.&nbsp\\; Here is my prior post:
&nbsp\\;




I was going to put some more air in my rear shock using my HD pump.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; When I screwed it on, it showed me the reading (16 psi).&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;When I went to&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;pump the shock up, the needle just shot forward to&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;the end bar.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I unscrewed&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;then rescrewed on the pump and am getting no reading what so ever.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I tried unscrewing and screwing it on two more times with the same result.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Has this happened to anyone?&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Hopefully someone can help me out.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I'm leaving on a 6 day trip tomorrow and just want to make sure it is the pump and not the shock.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I'd really appreciate the help.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Be safe [align=right][/align]

push up and down on the bike to see if the shocks are holding air, it may be your pump, if its not the pump check for leaks, if all else fails take it to the dealer or someone more qualified. there should be a little valve stem in there check that also.

Put a tire presure gauge on the shock valve, if there is any air then its the pump.

Or simply "bump" the valve core - if there's air in there, you'll hear it an' know the answer!
