125-200cc HOLY CRIPES! Nitrogen reservoir failure on our CR 150.

Anyone ever see this before? Cody was practicing on the CR 150 yesterday and overshot a double. When he landed I heard what sounded like a muffled shotgun blast. He pulled off the track and this is what we found:




Thank God the thing evidently ricocheted off his boot instead of taking the meat off of his calf muscle. We searched the track for an hour trying to find the piece/pieces to no avail. WTF?

Not good...time for an upgrade!

That's why i went for the ohlins, lol.

Time to contact David at Fast Bike Industries in North Carolina and get a Ohlins

Never seen anything like that Krieg. Glad it didn't end with body injury to Cody. Hey there is a Ohlins rep right in NC; we are sending my WB165 and my son's TM for the Ohlins TTX stuff.

Hey that's the guy/place I was talking about; you know his work ajaxauto?

WOW! That is totally crazy. Thank God he wasn't hurt.

Looks like the c clip wasn't in properly. Never have I seen such before.

The ultimate spare parts solution!

Yes David is his name realy nice guy He built me a custom shock to fit my 300 He use to work for Ohlin
but now has his own shop and still does alot of work for the Ohlin factory

I wonder if he could build it with the inverted reservoir of the '10-'12 CR 125/150's?

If anyone in the NW is interested I would gladly trade my 09 shock for a newer one. As a woods rider I just want to be able to change jets easier and will not be caseing any tripples so I am probably safe from exploding shocks.

Otherwise I think changing the reservoir is real expensive. I asked Les about it once and the parts are not cheap.

Thanks Ajaxauto and good luck Krieg.

Just have someone like Drew Smith at WER put a bladder conversion in and freshen it all up and you'll be good to go as the parts that you lost get removed during the bladder update anyway. He did our '10 CR125 and it works great!

There is no way to compair a sacks to a Ohlin TTX Scaks is a standard shock the TTX is in it own class

Good to hear my son is going for the TTX on his 2011 TM 250 MX! Do it Krieg....I think Cody would like it too . BTW I don't think, no I know I wouldn't rebuild that one!

I think it was just simple mortar shot at a KTM!

That's in James Bond style... ride up beside 'em and take them out with a shock piston up side the head.
