Apex ER shocks

[SledFreak]

How good are the shocks that come with the Apex ER and how many miles should you go between rebuild of those shocks?

 

[APEX 21]

I would imagine the shocks are similar to the RX-1. If thats the case I was happy with the front shocks, thus the reason for my Apex ER order. I put on 7,500 miles on the original shocks with no rebuilds. I had no shock failures. I was probably pushing it a little. I would have had them rebuild this year.

Those should be aluminum body shocks which are all rebuildable.
KYB (kyoba?) I think but could have switched to Soqi

(Kayaba) they should be fine,they won't be as good as the GYT - R or the Ohlins because of the lack of rebound and compression dampining,but that can be fixed with the right internal washer stack by a qualified shock technician.Depending on how many miles you put on the shocks usually determines the rebuild schedual,but I like to re-build them every year.

I bought an 06 Apex late last season. What determines the washer stack when rebuilding? I'm not getting any lighter at 225 or so. The back end rides like they need servicing.
