2013 Front Track Shock...Does it need help?

[XP Summit]

So I pulled my front track shock out of a 2013 Pro RMK with with 900 miles. Does this look normal? From just playing with it something feels off. It seems to easy at first, then kind of binds or sticks, and then get hard. This is my first Polaris... so just curious and would love your guys feedback. Take a look at the attached youtube video

Needs a rebuild bad.

Second that... while you are at it... send them all in to get done.

It really depends how you ride and what your budget is. IMO, just get a better shock from Zbroz, Raptor or Fox. The WE's just don't have any bottom out resistance. If you are a 200 lb guy with gear like me, it just doesn't work. I bottom out on bumps in the road. Some will say revalve and buy kits and send them in, but for me it was replace. I haven't looked back. I did X1's on all four shocks.

I am about 175 wet. I have a set of 4 Raptor Sping's that are progressive and get stiffer than stock after about 60-75% of the stroke, so that should help.
