This ones off a 07 TE450 Simmo. 16mm shaft. No rebound check valve.
I'm not sure if this particular shock suffers the fade due to the piston ring. The owner advised rear end was harsh/hard. The rebound circuit was closed and crossing over into the compression. It was like a rock. Add in the state of the swingarm bearings (now replaced) and the dry linkage bearings (now greased), and that at ome stage there was contact between the shock bolt and tierods, and well.. you get the idea.
