I thought I'd take my Rebel for a spin since the weather is so lovely today and she's been cooped up in the garage a few months. When I went to move it out of the garage, I noticed the shocks on the front fork have wayyyy less pressure than usual. Before I could not get them to budge more than a little when I pushed down on the handlebars. Bfriend seems to think they are ok and will gain pressure back with some usage. I am not convinced. There is no evidence of leakage.
Is it normal for the pressure to be low after a bike has been sitting a while and is bfriend correct about the pressure coming back with use?
