Need to rebuild my 2011 TE310 shock and service it. Do you all know if there's a kit in a bag/box type thing with all the bushings/seals etc.? thx RN
Robert Call Ty Davis I was there today and he still has a room full of Husky plus all his tour bikes are Husky Plus a full room just to do suspention
Rob, don't know what you did to blow that shock but maybe you just found a very good repair kit to remedy the issue
Thanks John I'll give Ty a call, I need to speak with him about the clutch basket damper grommet mod anyway. Ray, cause (or at leats where it happened, Deep sandy whoops near the end of the SP1. you can actually see the edge of the o-ring seal popped out from around the REB adjuster screw (I was at 10 out on REB). Shock oil all over my linkage. Also weighing above 210 puts alot of g force into the chassis.........
Yep, you bigger guys stress test plenty on a machine .... Your suspension has to really work well to keep you comfy ... I need a spring retainer cup for a 50mm Marzocchi closed chamber fork ... Think he might have one of these laying around for sale?
No issues with my '11 TE310, I just want to change the fluid as a PM. The manual says to, at minimum, replace the o-ring on the reservoir floating piston. Did you ever find a source for the rebuild parts? Thanks, Roger
If there is no oil past the reservior piston, I wouldn't hesitate to re-use it. From my experience they are very reliable, and a well-broken in seal or o-ring has less stiction.
Thanks for your reply, MotoMarc36. Problem is, I won't know whether there's fluid getting past or not until I break it all down. Or, will it be evident by leakage somewhere?
FYI, here is a couple of tips, if you are breaking down your shock for maintenance... I came across a couple of things that took me a while to figure out, and did a small write up to help others that do the same thing. It's about half way down the page http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/wr125-teardown-in-8-seconds-flat-caution-bike-porn.22727/
I just blew something on the shock of my '09 wr125, ride got harsh now there is fluid on the shop floor, and I only weigh 165!
It will be obvious when you remove the res. end cap. No oil = no problem. Will you be doing the work yourself?
If you are that light. Just remove the air valve and replace it with a grease zirk. Couple pumps with grease gun and your are in business. Better yet if you remove the reservoir end cap and spring, they make good super soaker guns when the grandkids come to visit! Funny! Ouch, that hurts when that happens.
OK I took the shock apart today. Only a few drops of clean oil had gotten by the floating piston in the reservoir. So I'm not going to worry about replacing the piston o-ring this time around. But I'm scratching my head trying to figure out how to get the piston out of the reservoir. I tried using the "pliers" method, but the piston has no lip or anything to get a grip on. I can't get it to budge. It's not stuck. I pushed it farther in with my finger. I saw that blakelpd5 used a puff of compressed air through the dis-assembled clicker port, but I really don't want to take the clicker apart. I don't have an air compressor anyway. Anyone have an alternate solution?
I can't personally think of a good solution for this. You somehow have to pressurize it. Maybe with the cap off where the oil goes in, you can use your lungs to blow in there? I have NO IDEA if that would even budge it, but maybe worth a shot. I hope you at least have a bike pump, as you need to pressurize that cylinder before you begin the filling / bleeding process.
