Blown Shock on GT

[leaddog]

I would gladly pay shipping. But if they're back ordered, then where are they going to ship it from. I'll be on the phone in the morning. My list of problems with this rear skid is unbelievable. How could they sell such a piece of crap. This trip was probably going to be the end of my season. Now it looks like it is over.


P.S. All of my Doo buddies will be going.

Hey leadog,

What is your gt rear suspension doing? Mine bangs going over smaller bumps, like the spring has no rebound! It makes a banging sound after going over moguls. Pick up the speed and it somewhat disappears. ??????

The rebound adjuster no longer clicks. Only spins. I pulled the shock and removed the spring. The shock feels OK. No oil leak and it rebounds after compressing it against the floor so it still has some nitrogen charge in it. Then I noticed the if I compress the shock it clicks again. Fully extended as on the stand it does not. It did click when it was new.

Ohlins says send it in. The dealer wants the entire sled (which sounds stupid) It's on the trailer headed for Wawa, Ontario tomorrow. Just hope I don't hit any bumps. Not many up there anyway.

If anyone has any ideas, PLEASE pass them along.

Thanks

Just ride it! I rode two days with the blown shock and it wasn't that bad.

Have a safe trip.
