Author Message   Shupe Posted on Sunday, February 22, 2009 - 01:42 pm:        Can anyone tell me what rear shock this is? It's on a 01 M2. Thanks. Shupe   Sleez Posted on Sunday, February 22, 2009 - 01:55 pm:        looks like factory showa?   Jramsey Posted on Sunday, February 22, 2009 - 01:58 pm:        Newer style Showa.   Sleez Posted on Sunday, February 22, 2009 - 02:00 pm:        wasn't the "newer" showa stock on an 01? i have lost track of the years.   Jramsey Posted on Sunday, February 22, 2009 - 02:32 pm:        IIRC '99-'00 had the longer shock that was recalled. My '00 X1 built late '99 was updated when purchased new by the original owner.   5liter Posted on Sunday, February 22, 2009 - 03:30 pm:        Here:   Shupe Posted on Sunday, February 22, 2009 - 03:42 pm:        Thanks!   Wreckgar Posted on Friday, February 27, 2009 - 12:59 pm:        I just got one of those $600.00 WP shocks for my S1W and now that I am reading more I am a little worried about it. Apparently the 1st recall was due to the WP shock breaking and causing the bike to pole vault. I know the one I just bought is a bit different, but not much by the looks of it.   Ducxl Posted on Friday, February 27, 2009 - 04:04 pm:        My '99 X1 which i bought new has the middle shock pictured in "5liter's" post. I was never notified of a recall from BMC. I got the fuel filter and the throttle cable recall notice. Why didn't i get the shock recall?   Kalali Posted on Friday, February 27, 2009 - 04:09 pm:        I fall in the group in the middle picture as I have a '00 X1. So, does this mean I should now have the "smaller" shock since my shock was replaced as part of the recall?   Blks1l Posted on Friday, February 27, 2009 - 05:19 pm:        The second shock in the picture was a good one to replace the WP. It was an early recall. Dean   S3ter Posted on Friday, February 27, 2009 - 06:32 pm:        My stock S3T shock started leaking oil about a month ago. Better than the engine leaking. I'm actually happy to discover this. I don't think the shock has been working properly for years. Replaced it with Penske from American Sportbike. Fully adjustable for damping, preload and ride height. Its the best shock I have ever had on any bike. A little pricey but transformed the bike.   Jstfrfun Posted on Friday, February 27, 2009 - 07:32 pm:        The only re-call on shocks was 2K X1. 99 did not apply. But Showas are re-buildable and adjustable. Aftershocks did a beautiful job on mine, also put it at the front of the production line when I let them know my bike was hanging from the rafters awaiting it's return!   Bhillberg Posted on Friday, February 27, 2009 - 10:19 pm:        how much did the rebuild cost?
