moulder75 Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 I have just gone to change my fork seals (08 Rev 3 250) and noticed that a rubber bush has split in two on the damper side. This bush is about the size of a 20p coin and 5mm thick and slides over the damper piston rod. It acts as a kind of bump stop for the damper. Beta and BVM do not stock paioli parts, and neither know of a UK dealer of where to get them. Anyone on here know? I have tried searching the forums and google with little success. I will have to make one out of some scrap rubber for now as theres a good trial to ride on Sunday. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel dabster Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 (edited) Someone on here must know of a UK paioli parts dealer? If there isn't one, how could someone on here know about it? Edited June 8, 2008 by Nigel Dabster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you supposed to do, scrap the bike for the sake of a fork bush ? doesnt make any sense, any ideas Kinell ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moulder75 Posted June 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 I too worship the service from JLI but he said he had no parts or contacts. If he doesnt no then I cant expect him to band over backwards for me. Feel free to ring him like I just did. From his point of view at the factory, the forks are probably purschased and assembled as a complete unit. Either way I was hopeing somebody else had a simialr issue to mine as the internet communicates with a lot more people etc. I have emailed Paioli.com so hopefully they can help. Any contacts or advice gratefully appreciated. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Hiya, As I understand it suspension components are in most circumstances rather common components. Try to track down your nearest suspension specialist, they will often have either a source for Paoli parts or maybe even be able to source non-genuine parts which will do the job.
