[Closed] RS Monarch Plus RC3 - damper bleed needed?

When the compression lever is set to min there's a noticeable clunking resistance at the very start of the stroke. Having removed the shock from the bike, the same still happens so it's not the frame (I'd replaced some worn bearings whilst at it so I'm very confident it's not the frame). Had a seal change/mini service last month and nothing was amiss with that.

It only occurs when the compression is set to min and is the same with and without air in the can.

Does this sound like there's some air in the damper and it's needing bled?

Thanks folks!

Sounds like it needs a service. No idea what a “mini service” could be other than an aircan service?

Aye, that's what it's more commonly known as! 🙂

iFp is most likely to have leaked air into oil, full service will solve it. If under 12 month send back on warranty
