Posted: 10:10 - 25 Sep 2017 Post subject: SV650s Rear Shock. |
|
|
So, my rear shock on the SV is a goner, leaning oil etc. Been gone for a while, so finally dead dead.
While I am very much enjoying the process of learning, just wondering the difficultly level of replacing this myself would be?
In terms of buying a new / used one, anything to bare in mind?
Stupid question: I was told I will also need a new bush? Not sure what this means. Bush?

For a decent mechanic with a bike lift I'd say that's about an hour too much. Chance are though that all your linkage bearings are shot too.

i replaced mine in my back room with a bottle jack and it took a few hours, all though mine is a curvy, i can imagine it isn't much different, if you look on the sv forums there are certain shocks from other bikes that just bolt straight in.
I just replaced mine with a second hand standard shock from ebay, i wouldn't pay too much if your just going to sell it, ill probably end up changing mine every year or so unless i loose some weight ____________________ CG125 1991[Sold] YBR 125 2009[SOLD] SV650s 1999-CBR600F-H 87

The garage fella said you need a new bushing? I didt think there were any bushings in the assembly, you have the bearings inside the knuckle below the shock if thats what he meant? He might have meant in the top of the shock, not sure.

But yeah, least rusty, lowest milage same one you can find on ebay for the least £ for sure. No point in upgrading it if you are selling it on.
I would soak the top and especially the bottom shock bolt with some plusgas/pen fluid the day before too, can be a bastard to break free. ____________________ Previous : 09 Vanvan 125| 02' Sv650s || Current: 1999 Xj600n | 1992 DR650 RSE | 2005 Fazer 1000 |
