I still cant quite believe this has happened, especially after all my glowing tributes to K Tech.....but the shock which was refurbished in march has failed !  :eek ...after just 3 hours on the road!
I only had the bike back together late  last sunday , didnt want to try it in the  evening rain, so only rode it first time on saturday, a quick 50 mile run, albeit at road legal pace , where it felt fine if a tad firm...now the rebound damping has gone, oil is leaking from the shock, and it makes a funny sheeshing noise when the back of the bike is bounced.The bike just bounces straight back up, not retardation at all of the movement... I still am gobsmacked at this.
You know I am even now suspicious if my forks have had the full treatment too. I was a bit unhappy at how firm they were yesterday,kicking off bumps, pretty much how they felt before the work....I backed off all damping , to see how the forks feel  , but the forks dont compress and rebound very fast at all...so much so I now wonder if they are still full of old oil !! Just how do I check if it has been done ?....at the moment I feel like insisting they open up the forks so I can see the oil is fresh ...at least that will prove somethinghas been done.
The real pisser is the time I have wasted stripping out the bike, taking the units to Ktech etc...at the moment , all for nothing. Luckily I have a spare OE ( refurbished ) shock which I can put on to keep the bike on the road, but I feel totally pissed orf !

Just a wee post to wish all you English buggers Happy Saint George's Day.
Hopefully you all have lashings and lashings of ginger beer to hand and the weather in Englandshire holds out.

Hi 2 of us are planning to ou round Germany from the 4th -14th May.


Anybody got any views they can share? Cheap accommodation routes websites?


We are looking to do the Eifell, nurburgring, any other suggestions.


BTW I am a German speaker so no probs with German sites.
