can a 86 model xt600 monoshock be rebuilt, the bike is plated 85 black tank & plastics with red frame, gold rims. thanks in advance

Hi there,

I recently booked my 85 monoshock in for a rebuild. They aren't rebuildable, but many good shops will be able to do the conversion and rebuild them. Just make sure they use geniune seals and rubbers. Also, just check there is no rust on the crome shaft or you may have real probs.

A good shop should also check your height, weight, type of riding you do etc. to ensure the correct weight oil and presure is used on the shock.

If your really keen you can get the spring sandblasted and powder coated.

Good luck.

thanks will make some calls, hopefully it worksout a bit cheaper than a new one! shaft looks ok, springs seems ok, movement of the shock is smooth just very easy to push in and out

check out Brooks Suspension, he did a good job on the shock for my elefant.

he is on ebay, Item number: 170287855088 for XT, give him a call first
