Author Message   Waldo38 Posted on Monday, March 28, 2005 - 07:01 pm:        I have a rear shock from a 2000 M2. It had leak some oil from the line.I guess the bolt was loose.Who does that and how much?   Firemanjim Posted on Tuesday, March 29, 2005 - 12:53 am:        Any competent suspension shop.I had mine redone at Aftershocks in Palo Alto,CA.   Josh_ Posted on Tuesday, March 29, 2005 - 12:56 am:        www.tracksideengineering.com Prices are on the website I beleive. They did my 91RS suspension (Front/Rear)   Phat_j Posted on Tuesday, March 29, 2005 - 09:36 am:        or i have a almost new one for sale 500 miles on it.... drop me an email elcamaross@aol.com   Waldo38 Posted on Tuesday, March 29, 2005 - 10:37 am:        Called Haley and they said you can't put oil back in them? What's up with that. That much did not leak out when I took the line off. What will happen if I run it that way?   Josh_ Posted on Tuesday, March 29, 2005 - 10:47 am:        What line? I didn't think the M2s had remote reservoirs? If it is the remote, it's not the oil, it's the pressure. A local suspension shop (ie dirt shop) can pressurize it - if they know the correct pressure.   Waldo38 Posted on Tuesday, March 29, 2005 - 10:51 am:        Yes on the 2000 M2 it has the can attached to the shock.I took the shock off and the bolt hooked on to the shock part was loose and was dripping oil out.   Josh_ Posted on Tuesday, March 29, 2005 - 10:54 am:        You need to get it re-pressurized. Ask TracksideEngineering.com for a quote. You ought to get it rebuilt since it will be off. New gaskets etc.   Rick_a Posted on Tuesday, March 29, 2005 - 12:52 pm:        I had a local Ducati/Triumph dealer do mine for $10 (re-charge). The shocks are rebuildable...it's just not easy and there aren't many people willing to do it. Also, you could almost buy another shock for the labor to get it done. I got my seals/bushings from RaceTech.   Captainkirk Posted on Tuesday, March 29, 2005 - 11:30 pm:        Josh; The M2's originally had no reservoir; these were a factory recall. The replacements have the remote reservoir with lines, same as the S3T and X1.   Firemanjim Posted on Wednesday, March 30, 2005 - 12:45 am:        Not true on cost,a new Penske or the like will run you 700 and up.Shock rebuild will be about 300 +/- and they will set it up for your riding style.   Rick_a Posted on Wednesday, March 30, 2005 - 12:59 pm:        I meant for a stock replacement.   Waldo38 Posted on Wednesday, March 30, 2005 - 01:59 pm:        Called a suspension shop here in Phoenix.Told me since I had loosen the bolt on the line and some oil leaked out.I need to have the shock rebuilt.Is this true? Can't I just put oil back in and have it Pressurized? Or don't I know how all this works. They also said they need the information on what the shock should be pressurized at. Does anybody know this information.I live out here and Phoenix does anybody know here locally I can get this done at.   Rick_a Posted on Thursday, March 31, 2005 - 12:29 pm:        The shock needs to be disassembled to refill the oil.   Rick_a Posted on Thursday, March 31, 2005 - 12:31 pm:        In the very least the reservoir has to be opened up. If the shock has anything near 10,000 miles you may as well have it rebuilt.
