In my case, the front and rear shocks had not lost their dampening ability in 100,000 miles. I really can't say for sure on the front since I replaced it, but I only replaced it late last year at around 92k. I am not experiencing any pogoing or wobbly feeling rear. Also note: The GTS won "best suspension" in the end of the year comparisons on motorcyclist that netted it the Bike of the year in 93. I know that's a while ago, but shocks haven't really changed that much that I know of, and the GTS had more adjustments than 99% of the bikes out there. But don't count the rear, since it's impossible to adjust. :) -Greg \|/ \|/ Greg Christopher | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 4997683 PAGER: http://wwp.mirabilis.com/4997683 [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am learning that criticism is not nearly as effective as sabotage.
