I pulled the front shocks off the 46, I think they've been on since new. They are the dual action type. There was no resistance moving the arm in either direction. I remove the plug and got only a few drops of oil out. Have slowly re-filled them with hydraulic oil, working the arm, resting, re-filling until they appear full. There is certainly resistance now, but not uniform through the entire range of motion. The arm moves, then seems to hit a tight spot, then with more force moves again.
My question is with a properly functioning knee action shock should you expect smooth resistance in both directions like a modern tube shock or are the knee action shocks somewhat different?
