Might it have something to do with the absent rebound adjustment knob??
Rebound is the bottom of the DS lower leg IIRC. The knob comes out if you give it a good pull, so yeah, it might be missing.
It won't affect the lock though.
You say it's a new bike - was it sitting around in a warehouse for 2-3 years?
