125-200cc rear shock rebuild on 04 cr125?

is a home rebuild even possible with a rear shock on a MX bike? ive done nearly all services on a bike except for this.

when i push on the rear seat the shock stops completely at about the halfway point. should i just send it for service or start wrenching this weekend

thx

gotta go with the easy first

Good Thought!

Can you push the rear end down through the sticky spot? It's probable that your problem is with the bearings - unless you bent a shock shaft

if it stops like that, probably rusted/stuck swingarm/shock linkage bearings...

dissambled all of the rear last night, almost all of the linkage bearings are trashed. so i ordered the all-balls linkage kit which is the only company that makes one, along with my moose swingarm kit i should be good to go

after all this money ive dumped into this little beat up 125 im thinking it deserves some new plastics

I like it! One good thing does lead to the next.
