FireHead Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 justin learn how to do it yourself man. after the first teare down its super simple. i could walk you through it. the only thing you need is a way to remove the spring, which can be accomplished very crudely if need be.

FireHead Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 got teach us the way.. How to remove the spring! I'm pretty sure he has a thread in the Suspension section that tells you how to rebuild your rear shock from start to finish. :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 yup i do; and if he has already had his revalved, the hardest part is done. the makeshift way i removed the spring was with a handful of vise grips after loosening the preload all the way out. to reinstall it i used a press and some tooling, made it much easier. but for the 2 minutes it takes, a shop wouldnt chrage you 10 bucks to do it right, and if you are in good with the service dept, they may do it gratis.

EastCoast Banshee Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 I know someone wants to buy the setup and copy the design into a cad program so i can have it milled and save lots of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd do that if someone could show me a picture of what I would be buying. :geek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justintoxicated Posted October 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 justin learn how to do it yourself man. after the first teare down its super simple. i could walk you through it. the only thing you need is a way to remove the spring, which can be accomplished very crudely if need be. Not sure it would be THAT simple. There is obviously some problem with my shock since it only lasted a few trips after being re-valved by TCS. Everyone here seems to think it is a nitrogen leak. I nearly broke my back when the rear end flipped over the front so I'm not about to risk my ass again to save a few bucks I'd rather pay $50 or 100 to know it is done right than to end up in a wheelchair for the rest of my life... Plus like you said it would be VERY difficult with the tools that I have, no shop, no nitrogen bottle to charge the shock with etc I don't even have anyhing but China Freight C-clamps and I don't want to screw up the nice Eibach spring... Not to mention this is my Last weekend before the season starts to get the bike ready (Bike is not at home it's 3 hours away) so I'm heading down this weekend to get it ready and pull the shock to send it off to Percision Concepts for them to fix the problem. As well as a number of other issues (install new clutch, lube change oil, and many other things) As it is I will have to install the shock back on the bike at about 12:00am right before loading it on the trailer for the 5 hour trip to glamis at the end of the month, if I'm even able to make that trip at this piont...Time is a luxury I simply do not have. If you can PM me a link to pics though I am interested in learning the process for future maintanence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
