So I hust got my Y50 yesterday and it is great except my stratos pro rear shock makes a very odd sound while traveling. It sounds like someone forcing water back and forth through a slightly opened soda bottle (swish swish). The other thing I've noticed is when I get on the bike it compresses about 25% just from my bodyweight. I have it up to 160 PSI and the dampening med-stiff. It performs really really hard, even though there is a shock in the rear it feels stiff (no the lockout is not on). So I went to stratos site to find out more but from the looks of things it kinda seems like there not around anymore, is this true? What should I do, replace it (with what?), refurb it, or send it back to stratos (if they exist anymore). PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Thanks,
Josh

Best advice I can give you is to ask this on Ridemonkey.com in Tech Talk or the Mountain Biker's Lounge. They have a resident Stratos expert who hangs around there ;)

It should compress about 20% or so from your body weight. That is called sag.
