    2 year old shock builder! atc250r shock gurus needed!

    So I went ahead and finally got a gold valve set and a new spring for my +4 swinger for my 86 atc250r. I took apart the old shock carefully and laid it all out. Well, my curious toddler took it upon herself to re-arrange daddies shock parts when he turned his back! Bless her little heart for trying to help but basically she piled it all up so I have zero clue as too which way stuff is laid out. I took no pictures because I'm an idiot.. The shims aren't necessarily important, but would like a pic of the parts all laid out for reference so I can be sure to put it all back together the correct way. I can purchase a blown shock to dissect if I must but that's the last resort. Thanks in advance!

    I am sure i have a shock laying around you can dissect.

    I would ask that you put it back together again before you gave it back.

    When did you get an 86???

    Pics??

    No new bike, it's such a mix of parts that I call it either or usually LOL. Started with a 86 frame, broke that one and ended up with a 85 frame. The motor is an 86' forks are 85', triples are 86' and so on haha. It's a mixed bag of 85-86 parts. Thank you for your offer on the shock, I might just take you up on that! I won't even really take it apart, just drain oil and nitrogen so I can pull out the shock shaft and valving all together to take a look.

    Unfortunately the parts fiche doesn't show the internals of the shock in any sort of detail. Thanks for the suggestion though!

    Sorry about that. I was almost certain that they showed an exploded view, but you are absolutely right.

    .
    I would simply call Race Tech since they are the ones that designed the valve and have also done countless atc250r shocks and ask them . You will need to ask to speak directly to one of the shock builders . They will not have a diagram but "should" be able to give you the info you need over the phone . They are also one of the premier shock building company's and have very fair prices and quick turn around times.

    PHONE 951-279-6655

    LOL, I have sent them so much business I feel like I should get a commission or at least a gift certificate for a Mcdonalds Happy Meal or something.
