02 RMK soft rear suspension - bottoms out

[SkagitMike]

I just noticed a difference in the way my '02 RMK 700's rear suspension reacts. It is clearly softer and the tunnel is not rebounding to original height. After removing the rear track suspension, it appears that the shock is in good shape. The coil-over shock seems similar.

Does anyone have any other ideas as to why my suspension is suddenly soft? The track easily drops when in the air or going over whoop and my weight on the seat is quite noticeable.

Had the same problem, rear springs are going.

the next thing to go will be your shock.
