Has anybody run into a 1800 that all of sudden lost all preload in thr rear
shock? By the way it is a 2005 with only 14000 miles.

Does the motor run? you should hear the motor start to work (lifting) right at 1.......if it doesn't kick in until 7 or 8, then you need to top off the oil. If the motor runs, and NOTHING happens, then it's time to take it in..........

Did you have it set at maximum? I've heard of one where the adjusted ring slipped and dropped right down and refused to reset.

I was under the impression that it was a sealed system
and there was no way to add oil, if not where and how??

This link, borrowed from another forum has a snippet of instructions on how to add oil to the preload adjuster.
