stump magnet Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 (edited) was out practicing today when i noticed the rear end becoming very lumpy then it collapsed. The bottom half of the shock had unscrewed itself from the body and jamed everthing up plus some oil escaped from the shock body, after managing to put it all back together the damping has totaly gone and rides like a pogo-stick!!! plus the body has a couple of dents where it jamed. have taken the whole lot to bits and after removing the spring you can pull and push the shock shaft in and out without any real resistance most of the travel. have spoken to my dealer who says he will speak to MRS tomorow to see what they can do. i dont hold out much hope so was wandering if anyone knows the price of a replacement idealy the 07 adjustable shock or ohlins ect.

northernnorm Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 We in USA have had a few replaced under warranty so I would think on an 06 you should get 1st replacement n/c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stump magnet Posted November 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 hope to get a FOC replacement the ohlins has sold but dont want to spend out if i can help it as its a design/manufacturing fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
