Hi Guys,
Just wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing problems with their rear shocks (RP23 - 2009 before boost valve)/ suspension.
During the 14 months ive owned my bike ive had a great time thrashing my mates over the local tracks but have been dogged by my rear shock. Its gone back to Mojo twice under warrantity and is off for its third outing all for the same problem (loss of rebound) Thanks again to Chris at Mojo for covering it after Warrantity period.
Chris seemed to think that ive either got very unlucky with the shock that came with my bike or that ive got alignment issues with the rear suspension which is putting undue stress on the shock.
When replacing the rear pivots and bushings I noticed that the central pivot was worn on the left side only (gouge) and the left hand (smallest) pivot was very loose within the bushing.
Has anyone else experienced this? Im getting the bike shop to check alignment when they send off the shock for me. Ive not contacted Turner as not sure whats going on but know there as good as gold when it comes to these things
Cheers TE
PS how can I shrink my pics to post - its been a while........
