KARTer 2nd Gear February 25, 2012 Share February 25, 2012 OMG!!! just a bread n butter small hatch back, tracked for fun once and covered only 40,000km in five years but now f shocks gone.... My only "abuse":- sometimes accelerated hard half way going thru road humps but got slowed down a bit before humps.

Deckbuild 6th Gear February 25, 2012 Share February 25, 2012 Could also due to the age of the shocks? 5 yrs is quite good, for bikes, they normally service their forks and shocks yearly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mkl22 Supersonic February 25, 2012 Share February 25, 2012 Mine also lasted 5-6yrs about 40k km. reason being the bump stops disintegrated and it allowed the shock to fully compress. Thus it got damaged after a while. My rears were ok. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
