That is usually a sign that the shocks need to be rebuilt. When new, the lever shocks used a proprietary oil mixture that is no longer produced in its original form. A good source of info on your shocks is Apple Hydraulics, 800/882-7753.

Is there a heavier shock absorber oil that I could use during the hot summer months that would stiffen up the shock absorber action? I have adjusted the shocks for the summer months and they are still soft. Thank you
