'08 KLR650 Rear shock? - Help!
 
Hi All and thanks for looking at my post

I have a '08 KLR650 with 38,000kms. Almost all of it loaded with me (90kgs) and my luggage (40kgs). When going through a slight bump there is a hissing sound from the back.....I suspect it's my rear shock.
I'm in Morocco now, heading towards South Africa. Should I be concerned about this sound or just keep on riding?
I do have to head back to Rabat for visas and tyres before going to Mauri. Your suggestions and advise will be much appreciated
Regards
Neville

Do it now
 
Hey mate,
Morroco to ZA on a blown shock......?! I'd get it sorted now whilst you have the chance before heading even further south. Sounds like the damper has failed. Is it a rebuildable unit?
Maybe purchase a new one and DHL it to yourself.
