Blown suspension.... ** PICs****UPDATED READ*

[three_wheelin45]

SO went for a lil afternoon ride and only rode for about an hour and I hit this jump and when I landed.... I went all the way to the ground lol the whole shock was on the ground. So now im pretty much ... anyone got a 86-87 200x shock they want to sell?? or know of any other shocks that will fit cause I get pretty decent air when I jump and I dont want this to happen again..

Was it just the seal on the shaft that blew out? If so, I believe you can get it rebuilt, it would probly cost a little more, but would most likely last longer than a 25 year old used shock. --- Jon.

I have one in the classifieds section in 200x parts. Good condition just needs the upper collar replaced, which i have. :]

[three_wheelin45]

ya I think its more then a seal broke...

[three_wheelin45]

alright so the top bracket is stripped out... IDk how ima get that bolt out, but I got the bottom part off. Any suggestions on getn the top bolt out, its almost out and hangin in the other side by a few threads but it wont tighten or lossen just spins there..

You can get a good shock off ebay pretty cheap..

[three_wheelin45]

are most shocks interchangable?? if so I want a good HD shock like a raptor shock or something.... I Like to fly

[yamaha driver]

take like a crowbar or . Use the claw part of the and get on the backside of the bolt head and put pressure on it. then while applying pressure unscrew the bolt.

I'd like to see this "10' in the air"

Maybe it was a dead shock. Shocks don't normally come apart.

Did you have brakes on this machine?

[three_wheelin45]

no brakes... and 10 ft, honestly yes Ive been that high but to a landing ramp... highest ive gone to flat ground was maybe 5 ft the jump I hit today I got about 3 ft of air and landed to flat ground... and it broke my chiet!! and DC a machinest!! are most shocks interchangable? and I might try the thing tommorow

[yamaha driver]

and no most shocks are not, some are longer than others and shorter

[three_wheelin45]

alls i got to do is find one about 13-14 inches long and a 1inch wide bracket mounting... and i should be good

[three_wheelin45]

Lookin around and supposly a 300ex shock will fit... hmm... and the stock 86-87 shock has 7.2 inches of travel the 300ex has about 7.9 inches of travel

300ex have a soft wimpy shock on the back i own one i weigh 180 and it goes through half its travel when i sit on it go with a 660 shock
