Hello All !
So I when I had the suspension out to do the donuts I rerouted the wiring for my rear skid, It worked fine and then quit registering on the dash so I assumed it had a broken wire, I removed the entire shock and harness and noticed the plastic on the harness connecting the shock to the harness was broken, I went ahead and pulled the broken plastic off and re wired a brand new quick connect fitting to it...... I still didnt have any shock input on the dash and while I had the shock out it leaked a bit of oil on my bench.....
I'm assuming the solenoid crapped out on me and need to know what I should do? Is there anyone in the Michigan region that still services these shocks?
I see the thread about someone mating an r motion skid from a 2017 ski dont into an apex so that could be an option but honestly the last owner had this suspension set up primo good..... It wont yank the skis, doesnt push hard through corners and even with the wife on the back of it have never bottomed it out........
Would it be cheaper and even possible to have the shock serviced or should I start looking for a different skid?

@cannondale27 may be done excepting shocks for service until spring now so he can ride. If that’s the case I’d send your Ohlins to Carver Performance as the second best option.
Yes I am out of Solenoids also. Holidays and hoping to ride after. Sorry but done for season.

that is part of why i accumulated full sets of spare shocks for my sleds. when i give them to cannondale, he has 12 months before i start looking for them when i get him to do them.

JG231, Shock fails in last electronic position, I have ridden mine that way for many years. all you loose is the fancy ability to adjust on the fly. just my 2 cents.

The shock actually reverts to approx. 75% stiff on the electronic adjustment when there are 0 volts being applied to the servo.
