Dirtbreath Posted September 9, 2008 Share The service kit should have a step by step instruction leaflet. Check it out before you buy/start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoBigBen Posted September 9, 2008 Share ASk BigBen what a shock looks like after I have serviced it !!!! And it was a "easy" spring shock as you like to call it . Yip I can confirm that said shock now has no rebound, no compression, no 'spring'. In fact a rigid has more 'give' ............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotSoBigBen Posted September 10, 2008 Share It weren't me sir ......... Dirt-Rider is the culprit in this case. I got it from him already 'locked' ......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtrider Posted September 10, 2008 Share What went wrong ?? Mmmmmm I did the opposite of what Johann said , i.e stripped it in the dirt , not looking at what goes where , drinking huge amounts of beer etc . After the "service" I had a handfull of funny stuff still lying around and I assumed that it was unneeded stuff that just added weight anyway .
