Title: Rebuilding "Non rebuildable" gas shocks
Post by: mosderek on March 14, 2014, 06:28:43 am

Hey guys, I have been hearing a lot of talk lately about rebuilding nonrebuildable gas charged shocks by simply drilling a hole for a schrader valve and refilling them. Now obviously you can't just drill the hole anywhere etc etc anyway I have t really been able to find much on this. I have the 79 or 80 klx250 shocks by kyb with the remote reservoir. Now I found a little on race tech site but the ones they are rebuilding don't have a reservoir etc. Now I have also seen where people are Installing bleed valves for oil. Obviously two different things but I'm guessing wouldn't hurt to do both??? Anyway i really just want to rebuild these kyb shocks I here they were top notch back In the day so I really don't want to downgrade to regular 18" progressives when That would be way more expensive anyway. If any one has ever rebuilt these please help. I believe they also came on the kdx and Kx for a while. Thanks guys.

the easiest and best way is to measure the shocker points for some Ohlins ;D
