Rear shock absorber - replacing the seal head

Shock_completed.jpg

I am chuffed to be able to report that the joint project that TTR Steve and I did to rebuild a TTR250 rear shock (and to document the process so as to create a user guide) was successful wink

The guide is now online click here and, as usual with new guides, feedback will be appreciated!

Now that new shocks are no longer available from Yamaha, it is important that owners have a way to repair their existing shock.  If an owner doesn't feel able to do the work themselves then they can find out from the guide the correct parts to buy to give their mechanic to do the job for them.

Any questions, please ask!

Brian

Not a lot of interest in this topic it seems cry

Is there anyone out there with a shock to rebuild willing to test the instruction? wink

Alternatively, is there anyone that has done the job themselves and is willing to cast their eyes over the guide and feed back some (hopefully!) constructive criticism? If so, that would be really great biggrinbiggrinbiggrin

Should have the kits in the shop by the end of the weekend. This is good news that me and Brian did this, as new shocks are no longer available from Yamaha and it is good that owners can check the pressure in their shocks, before they go to a rebuild stage.

Another great how to smilesmile

Whilst continuing my clear out, I came across a bit of kit I used in the "how to rebuild your TTR250 shock guide" biggrin

It's a pair of aluminium shock shaft grippers. When Steve and I did the shock rebuild pictured in the guide, we used wooden gripper but these are sooooo much better.  £6 the pair inc. UK p&p
