My reverb doesn't stay down. It has a bit of trouble to go down but then goes straight back up instead of staying low.

Tried cheking air pressure, bleed(not sure I am very good at that.

There is a bit of play in the post as well most likely need a service but not wanna buy the parts if it won't resolve the automotic back up issue.

any advice?

Does it stay up?

Suggests the poppet valve is sticking open, but then it wouldn't stay up either.

As above- if it won't lock in the up position you either have something stuck in the remote hose (does the bar remote lever work ok) or the poppet valve has stuck open.

If it does lock in the up position then it's more puzzling- probably the IFP seal has gone which means the air and oil are recirculating inside.

You know they have a 2 year warranty?

It does stay up, looses some air pressure over time (repressure every couple of months) though.Have to check but its normally quite a bit past its 2 year warranty period.
