Well I blew out my rear shock tonight on my X4R, now where to find parts?



I unloaded my bike tonight after riding it at the indoor pit bike track here in Fla, that when I noticed the rear shock is toast, shock fluid leaking out. Should I try and find parts or just get a new shock for it? I was just looking at the Ishocks, but I really don’t know what to do at this point. Looks like I am going to miss this weekends race here at Sunshine MX indoor pit bike track.

Works, Ohlins, WP, Zoke, etc....

elka 4 sure. i think that 800lb spring is just not stiff enough, thats why i went to 1000 on mine.

 

[Kurlon]

I'd give Works a try, get the measurements and have them build a shock up for you.

Damn. Call Pitster and see what they say. Talk to Chris in parts.

 

[DEMON_CR]

HACKMUNCH elka 4 sure. i think that 800lb spring is just not stiff enough, thats why i went to 1000 on mine.

Where would I find a 1000 spring?

let the x4 problems unload! cant they ever get this shock problem fixed!? every model has had this problem

 

[Drowe]

Shocks blow it is a sad fact of Pit bikes. Ask xr1million about the Elkas on his old BBR sometime, I also know that Austin Collins (Cat-5's son) has blown just about everything on his stock 110! It pretty much sucks, but it looks like Pitster is taking care of it, pretty cool customer service. Keep those shocks clean and make sure that you are sprung properly boys and girls.

oh geez. Why do you care? You don't own one nor ever will.

all mini shocks blow when u hammer .no matter what brand

A friend of ours is an aspiring young pro and has blown out and bent shock shafts on his YZ. When you take into consideration the job that they have to perform, it's no wonder.
