All, found an 06 Ss rear shock I was thinking of picking up for a spare. I have the 09 parts manual, but that doesn't help figure out if the 06 was the same... any help? Thanks! | ||

As far as I know all XB shocks are the same length from 2003-2010 except Ulysses models. Ther emay be slight differences over the years but all will fit. | ||

Trojan, my understanding is that the Ss is different due to the longer suspension travel, but maybe I'm wrong. | ||

CG shocks are shorter | ||

06-08 XB12SS has the SS shock, while the 09-10 XB12SS has the STT shock. | ||

Froggy - thanks. Where do you get all this stuff? Do you have the parts manual for every year? | ||

What if I told you I only own parts manuals for bikes I don't own?  Ok I lie, I do have a parts book for my 03 Blast, and a parts book for a tuber I never owned | ||

Trojan, my understanding is that the Ss is different due to the longer suspension travel, but maybe I'm wrong. The only real difference between the SS and S models is the longer rear subframe and wider frame. The SS has the same suspension travel aas the standard S models I think. It is only the X and XTT/STT models that got longer travel rear shocks. | ||

It is only the X and XTT/STT models that got longer travel rear shocks. Not entirely true. To reiterate Froggy the '09-'10 Ss has the STT suspension. | ||

Froggy, I wouldn't make any bets on how many parts manuals you have. I need my money. Ok, so to wrap this up, if I want a spare, I need to find an STT shock, or a shock off an 09-10 Ss. I'm in no hurry, but at some point I will send off the shock to be serviced and hate having the bike sit while waiting for it to return. Also would give me a chance to pull the spring and have it tested - seems like no one has the spring data for my suspension - front or rear. Thanks again! |
