stealth50 Posted April 27, 2005 Report Posted April 27, 2005 disassembled the rear shock and can not get at the valving. I tryed twisting the cap with the one hole in it on the bottom of the shock housing but it just spins and does not loosen. I can not find a diagram to go by.Anyone have any knowledge on how do do this. Thanks!! Quote
wesw Posted April 30, 2005 Report Posted April 30, 2005 tcs does the revalving for like 450 and done right might think about doing that, but i have no clue how or what to do with shocks rebuilds Quote

Its resealing that is a bitch...As per below. Yamaha put TWO snap rings in there. The one on the top is simple enough to remove. It is getting to the one they put on the bottom that you can't see that is giving you problems. You have to drill through the seal "Carefully" in order to remove the bottom retaining ring. Once you remove it you need not replace it in reassembly. Just re-install the top retainer. Yamaha did it purposely to keep the DIY out of it...I say keep at it, race-tech makes a kit to reseal/valve it. Should be able to pick a kit up at the local dealer for around 60-80bux.

DUNEDEMON Posted May 3, 2005 Report Posted May 3, 2005 Actually TCS only charges $300 for a rebuild (re-valve & re-spring) Not $450 Quote
sheefreak Posted May 3, 2005 Report Posted May 3, 2005 Actually TCS only charges $300 for a rebuild (re-valve & re-spring) Not $450 363850[/snapback] Is that all the way around, or just fronts? Quote
