07 EC250 Sachs shock
Does anybody know a good place to buy internal parts for the Sachs shock? My shock looses all it's dampening after about 10 minutes of riding, so I thought I'd take a shot at rebuilding it if I can get parts.

Generally that would indicate the need for a fluid change.

I believe there was a problem with some of the Sachs shocks doing this. Not sure what the fix was (defective piston assy??) but I do remember reading about the problem. You may have one of those shocks. Talk to your dealer or maybe some Husky dealers also to find the info and fix.
Here is a link with others having the same problem http://www.dirtbikeworld.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=49325

Give Les Tinius at LT-Racing a call; He has had 100s of these apart...
www.lt-racing.com If you decide not to do it yourself - His prices on rebuild or revalve are very reasonable. He has a great reputation with both the gasgas and husky crowd. jeff |

Thanks for the replies. I did talk to Les at LT-racing and he mentioned this being a known problem and the parts I need to fix it, I'm just having trouble finding a source for parts. If I can't find parts I'll end up sending it to him (probably better off), unfortunately shipping between Canada and the U.S. is pretty pricey now.

Well, I finally broke down and sent my shock to Les, and am I glad I did. Very reasonable prices, super quick service, and the shock works amazing!
Now if anyone has some inside tips on shipping between Canada and the U.S. that's a thread I'd watch like a hawk. |

I went to change my shock fluid and noticed that the oil was bleeding past the rez piston, so I switched to a bladder.

Where did you source the bladder? Is it common with something off a higher volume (eg KYB or Showa) shock?
