    Hi,

    I have a 2008 PS125i which has covered approx 4k miles. Recently the rear suspension appears to have lost it's bounce and jumps about over bumps.

    Could this be the springs or are their bushes etc which are prone to wear/fail?

    Thanks

    John.

    Thanks, that's really helpful. My road is very bumpy which could have contributed to the wear.

    Thanks for your advice and the links you provided. Cant believe how cheap they are, just need to work out what size to buy.
    Is it possible it could also be a wheel bearing causing the issue?

    Id second the shock. my bikes eat them due to poor road surface around my area.

    Thanks, I was wondering about the bearing as it feels like a puncture. I will look to replace shock, wont break the bank nor be too hard to do.

    cheers.
