Shocking problem...
Re: Shocking problem...
Sam has been getting conflicting info on whether the shock can be rebuilt or not... I'll suggest he calls Revs and ask the question. I am pretty sure it can be rebuilt, it's whether it's an easy job or not...

Re: Shocking problem...
Revs rebuilt the supposedly un rebuildable rear shock on my VFR750 a few years ago.Give them a ring,they might be able to do it.

Re: Shocking problem...
Hi Steve, had a dig around and it appears the shock is specific (only checked by part number) to 2001, 02 & 03 125 varaderos. Assuming your talking about one that early. The cross reference goes across the Honda range as far as I know.SteveR wrote:Thanks Bojer, I suggested he find the Honda part number and see if the same shock was used elsewhere by Honda, but no joy as far as I know..
I had a quick Google...... http://www.brooksuspension.co.uk/showa- ... rvice.html
Re: Shocking problem...
Just catching up after being away... Thank you Chris. I had a feeling that it was some weird "one-off" on the baby Vara, I probably saw it on the XRV forum some time ago.
He had two options, a rebuild, or a new shock. However, some chap has made him an excellent offer over the weekend for the bike I believe, and from what I can understand, it was with shock "as is". I suspect he will take it... He was going to trade up in June once/if he gets his full test so it has made the decision a bit sooner for him.
Thanks for all the advice and ideas chaps, I hope he doesn't regret the early sale, but at least it means I wont have to fettle it (thumbs)
