  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Can I replace the bump stop without pulling the shock apart?
And whilst it's out is there any way I can change the oil myself? Or is it not really required

Thanks
Neil
 
To change the bump stop without disassembling the shock, you'd still need to release the nitrogen pressure for safety, and then you'd have to be able to hold the chrome shaft while heating and unscrewing the clevis... which can be VERY hot and tight. It's actually much easier and less likely to damage the components to just disassemble the shock the normal way. And, yes, you'd need to change the oil when doing so.

I'll add that the Sachs shocks from that era were very good IMO. I had a 2009 TE450 and a 2012 WR150 and the shocks were solid, easy to work on, and responded well to my tuning.
 
i would suggest a full rebuild w new seals while your at a it. i believe that Ohlins internals will fit the sachs shock too....
